2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1
New King James Version
14 (A)Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For (B)what [a]fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what [b]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 (C)you[c] are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
(D)“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore
(E)“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
18 “I (F)will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My (G)sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”
The Corinthians’ Repentance
7 Therefore,(H) having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1
American Standard Version
14 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with [a]Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement hath a [b]temple of God with idols? for we are a [c]temple of the living God; even as God said, [d]I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore
[e]Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord,
And touch no unclean thing;
And I will receive you,
18 [f]And will be to you a Father,
And ye shall be to me sons and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty. 7 1 Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
