The Temple of the Living God

^14 (A)Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For ^(B)what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or ^(C)what fellowship has light with darkness?

^33 (A)Do not be deceived: ^(B)“Bad company ruins good morals.”^[a]

^21 (A)You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and ^(B)the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and ^(C)the table of demons.

^4 (A)You adulterous people!^[a] Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? ^(B)Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

^6 (A)Let no one ^(B)deceive you with empty words, for because of these things ^(C)the wrath of God comes upon ^(D)the sons of disobedience. ⁷ Therefore ^(E)do not become partners with them; ⁸ for ^(F)at one time you were ^(G)darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. ^(H)Walk as children of light ⁹ (for ^(I)the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), ¹⁰ and ^(J)try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. ^11 (K)Take no part in the ^(L)unfruitful ^(M)works of darkness, but instead ^(N)expose them. ¹² For ^(O)it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. ¹³ But when ^(P)anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, ¹⁴ for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,

You Shall Keep My Statutes

^19 (A)“You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. ^(B)You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.

⁹ But you are ^(A)a chosen race, ^(B)a royal ^(C)priesthood, ^(D)a holy nation, ^(E)a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you ^(F)out of darkness into ^(G)his marvelous light. ^10 (H)Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
