Proverbs 5:18-21

New American Standard Bible

¹⁸Let your ^(A)fountain be blessed,
And ^(B)rejoice in the ^(C)wife of your youth.
¹⁹Like a loving ^(D)doe and a graceful mountain goat,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
Be ^[a]exhilarated always with her love.
²⁰For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an ^[b]^(E)adulteress,
And embrace the breasts of a ^(F)foreigner?
²¹For the ^(G)ways of everyone are before the eyes of the Lord,
And He ^(H)observes all his paths.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

New American Standard Bible

¹⁴^(A)Do not be ^[a]mismatched with ^(B)unbelievers; for what do righteousness and lawlessness ^(C)share together, or what does light have in common with darkness? ¹⁵Or what ^(D)harmony does Christ have with ^[b]Belial, or ^[c]what does a ^(E)believer share with an ^(F)unbeliever? ¹⁶Or ^(G)what agreement does ^[d]the temple of God have with idols? For we are ^[e]^(H)the temple of ^(I)the living God; just as God said,

“^(J)I will ^(K)dwell among 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 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 Lord Almighty.
