6:11 We have spoken freely to you, 3 Corinthians; our heart has been opened wide to you. 6:12 Our affection for you is not restricted, 4 but you are restricted in your affections for us. 6:13 Now as a fair exchange – I speak as to my 5 children – open wide your hearts to us 6 also.
6:14 Do not become partners 7 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? 8 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 9 the temple of the living God, just as God said, “I will live in them 10 and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” 11 6:17 Therefore “come out from their midst, and be separate,” says the Lord, “and touch no unclean thing, 12 and I will welcome 13 you, 14 6:18 and I will be a father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,” 15 says the All-Powerful Lord. 16
