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.”

Authorized (King James) Version
11 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. 12 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. 13 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 and what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Modern English Version
11 O Corinthians, we have spoken frankly to you; our heart is opened wide. 12 You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained in your own affections. 13 In return (I speak as to my children) you also be open.
The Temple of the Living God
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness? 15 What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what part has he who believes with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will live in them
and walk in them.
I will be their God,
and they shall be My people.”[a]
17 Therefore,
“Come out from among them
and be separate,
says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
and I will receive you.”[b]
18 “I will be a Father to you,
and you shall be My sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty.”[c]
2 Corintios 6:11-18
Reina-Valera Antigua
11 Nuestra boca está abierta á vosotros, oh Corintios: nuestro corazón es ensanchado.
12 No estáis estrechos en nosotros, mas estáis estrechos en vuestras propias entrañas.
13 Pues, para corresponder al propio modo (como á hijos hablo), ensanchaos también vosotros.
14 No os juntéis en yugo con los infieles: porque ¿qué compañía tienes la justicia con la injusticia? ¿y qué comunión la luz con las tinieblas?
15 ¿Y qué concordia Cristo con Belial? ¿ó qué parte el fiel con el infiel?
16 ¿Y qué concierto el templo de Dios con los ídolos? porque vosotros sois el templo del Dios viviente, como Dios dijo: Habitaré y andaré en ellos; y seré el Dios de ellos, y ellos serán mi pueblo.
17 Por lo cual Salid de en medio de ellos, y apartaos, dice el Señor, Y no toquéis lo inmundo; Y yo os recibiré,
18 Y seré á vosotros Padre, Y vosotros me seréis á mí hijos é hijas, dice el Señor Todopoderoso.
