2 Corinthians 6:14-18
The Voice
14 Don’t develop partnerships with those who are not followers of Jesus’ teachings. For what real connection can exist between righteousness and rebellion? How can light participate in darkness? 15 What harmony can exist between the Anointed and Satan?[a] Do the faithful and the faithless have anything in common? 16 Can the temple of God find common ground with idols? Don’t you see that we house the temple of the living God within us? Remember when He said,
“I will make My home with them and walk among them.
I will be their God,
and they will be My people.[b]
17 So then turn away from them,
turn away and leave without looking back,”[c] says the Lord.
“Stay away from anything unclean, anything impure,
and I will welcome you.[d]
18 And I will be for you as a father,
and you will be for Me as sons and daughters,”[e]
Says the Lord Almighty!
