2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1
Legacy Standard Bible

14 (A)Do not be unequally yoked with (B)unbelievers; for what (C)partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 Or what (D)harmony has Christ with [a]Belial, or [b]what has a (E)believer in common with an (F)unbeliever? 16 Or (G)what agreement has a [c]sanctuary of God with idols? For we are (H)a sanctuary of (I)the living God; just as God said,

“(J)I will (K)dwell in them and (L)walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
17 (M)Therefore, (N)come out from their midst and be separate,” says the [d]Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean,
And I will welcome you.
18 (O)And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be (P)sons and daughters to Me,”
says the [e]Lord Almighty.

7 Therefore, having these promises, (Q)beloved, (R)let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1
Evangelical Heritage Version

Do Not Be Yoked With Unbelievers

14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what partnership does righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? 15 And what agreement does Christ have with Belial?[a] Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever? 16 And what mutual agreement does God’s temple have with idols? For you[b] are the temple of the living God, just as God said:

I will live and walk among them.
I will be their God, and they will be my people.[c]
17 Therefore come out from them, and be separate, says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing, and I will welcome you.[d]
18 I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.[e]

7 So then, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles flesh and spirit as we seek to bring sanctification to its goal in the fear of God.
