Do Not Be Unequally Yoked
14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?6:15 Scrivener’s TR and PT; many Greek sources Beliar Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
"I will dwell with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be My people."6:16 Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27
17 "Therefore come out from among them
and be separate, says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you."6:17 Isaiah 52:11; see also Ezekiel 20:34, including LXX.
