2 Corinthians 6:11-18
New King James Version
Be Holy
11 O Corinthians! [a]We have spoken openly to you, (A)our heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but (B)you are restricted by your own affections. 13 Now in return for the same (C)(I speak as to children), you also be open.
14 (D)Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For (E)what [b]fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what [c]communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For (F)you[d] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
(G)“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore
(H)“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I (I)will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My (J)sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”
