^14 (A)Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For ^(B)what ^[a]fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what ^[b]communion has light with darkness?

³³ Do not be deceived: ^(A)“Evil company corrupts good habits.”

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

^4 [a]Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that ^(A)friendship with the world is enmity with God? ^(B)Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

⁶ Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. ⁷ Therefore do not be ^(A)partakers with them.

Walk in Light

⁸ For you were once darkness, but now you are ^(B)light in the Lord. Walk as children of light ⁹ (for ^(C)the fruit of the ^[a]Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), ^10 (D)finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. ¹¹ And have ^(E)no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather ^[b]expose them. ^12 (F)For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. ¹³ But ^(G)all things that are ^[c]exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. ¹⁴ Therefore He says:

¹⁹ ‘You shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your livestock breed with another kind. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you.

⁹ But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of ^(A)darkness into His marvelous light; ^10 (B)who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
