Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Do Not Be Mis-Yoked To Unbelievers; Be Separated Out To God Your Father
14 Do not be ones being mis-yoked to unbelievers[a]. For what partnership is there for righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship is there for light with darkness? 15 And what is the harmony[b] of Christ with Beliar[c]? Or what share is there for a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement[d] is there for the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said [in Lev 26:12], that “I will dwell in them, and I will walk-among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people”. 17 Therefore, “Come out of their midst and be separated[e]”, says the Lord, “and do not touch an unclean thing[f]. And I will take you in 18 and be a father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me”, says the Lord Almighty. 7 1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every stain[g] of flesh and spirit, perfecting[h] holiness in the fear of God.
