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.
