16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For (A)you[a] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

(B)“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”

17 Therefore

(C)“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I (D)will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My (E)sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”

The Corinthians’ Repentance

Therefore,(F) having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
