6:14 Do not become partners 1 with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness? 6:15 And what agreement does Christ have with Beliar? 2 Or what does a believer share in common with an unbeliever? 6:16 And what mutual agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are 3 the temple of the living God, just as God said, “I will live in them 4 and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” 5 6:17 Therefore “come out from their midst, and be separate,” says the Lord, “and touch no unclean thing, 6 and I will welcome 7 you, 8 6:18 and I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,” 9 says the All-Powerful Lord. 10
7:1 Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves 11 from everything that could defile the body 12 and the spirit, and thus accomplish 13 holiness out of reverence for God. 14
