2 Corinthians 6:14-16
International Standard Version
Relating with Unbelievers
14 Stop becoming[a] unevenly yoked with unbelievers. What partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? What fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony exists between the Messiah[b] and Beliar,[c] or what do a believer and an unbeliever have in common? 16 What agreement can a temple of God make with idols? For we[d] are the temple of the living God, just as God said:
“I will live and walk among them.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.”[e]
