2 Corinthians 6:12-18
Legacy Standard Bible
12 You are not restrained [a]by us, but (A)you are restrained in your own [b]affections. 13 Now in a like (B)exchange—I speak as to (C)children—open wide to us also.
14 (D)Do not be unequally yoked with (E)unbelievers; for what (F)partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 Or what (G)harmony has Christ with [c]Belial, or [d]what has a (H)believer in common with an (I)unbeliever? 16 Or (J)what agreement has a [e]sanctuary of God with idols? For we are (K)a sanctuary of (L)the living God; just as God said,
“(M)I will (N)dwell in them and (O)walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
17 (P)Therefore, (Q)come out from their midst and be separate,” says the [f]Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean,
And I will welcome you.
18 (R)And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be (S)sons and daughters to Me,”
says the [g]Lord Almighty.
