11 (A)Our mouth [a]has spoken freely to you, O Corinthians, our (B)heart is opened wide. 12 You are not restrained [b]by us, but (C)you are restrained in your own [c]affections. 13 Now in a like (D)exchange—I speak as to (E)children—open wide to us also.

14 (F)Do not be [d]bound together with (G)unbelievers; for what (H)partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 Or what (I)harmony has Christ with [e]Belial, or [f]what has a (J)believer in common with an (K)unbeliever? 16 Or (L)what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are (M)the temple of (N)the living God; just as God said,

(O)I will (P)dwell in them and (Q)walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
17 (R)Therefore, (S)come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you.
18 (T)And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be (U)sons and daughters to Me,”
Says the Lord Almighty.
