2 Corinthians 6:12-18
New American Standard Bible
12 You are not restrained [a]by us, but (A)you are restrained in your own [b]affections. 13 Now in the same way in (B)exchange—I am speaking as to (C)children—open wide your hearts to us, you as well.
14 (D)Do not be [c]mismatched with (E)unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness (F)share together, or what does light have in common with darkness? 15 Or what (G)harmony does Christ have with [d]Belial, or [e]what does a (H)believer share with an (I)unbeliever? 16 Or (J)what agreement does [f]the temple of God have with idols? For we are [g](K)the temple of (L)the living God; just as God said,
“(M)I will (N)dwell among 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 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 Lord Almighty.
