2 Corinthians 6:14-17

The Temple of the Living God

14 1Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For 2what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or 3what fellowship has light with darkness?
15 4What accord has Christ with Belial?[a] Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?
16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For 5we are the temple of the living God; as God said, 6"I will make my dwelling among them and 7walk among them, and 8I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Therefore 9go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you,
