2 Corinthians 6:16-7:1
New International Version
16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols?(A) For we are the temple(B) of the living God.(C) As God has said:
“I will live with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people.”[a](D)
17 Therefore,
“Come out from them(E)
and be separate,
says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you.”[b](F)
18 And,
7 Therefore, since we have these promises,(I) dear friends,(J) let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness(K) out of reverence for God.
