2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1
1599 Geneva Bible
14 [a]Be not unequally yoked with the infidels: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what [b]part hath the believer with the infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the Temple of God with idols? (A)for ye are the Temple of the [c]living God: as God hath said, (B)I will [d]dwell among them, and walk there: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 (C)Wherefore come out from among them, and separate yourselves, saith the Lord, and touch none unclean thing, and I will receive you.
18 (D)And I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
7 1 Lest by overmuch urging them he should dismay their tender minds, 2 he proveth that all that he said, 4 proceeded of the great good will he bare unto them: 8 and therefore they should not be offended, that he made them sorry, 10 and brought them to repentance not to be repented of.
1 Seeing then we have these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the [e]flesh and spirit, and finish our sanctification in the fear of God.
