2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Do Not Be Mis-Yoked To Unbelievers; Be Separated Out To God Your Father

¹⁴Do not be ones being mis-yoked to unbelievers^[a]. For what partnership is there for righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship is there for light with darkness? ¹⁵And what is the harmony^[b] of Christ with Beliar^[c]? Or what share is there for a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶And what agreement^[d] is there for the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said [in Lev 26:12], that “I will dwell in them, and I will walk-among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people”. ¹⁷Therefore, “Come out of their midst and be separated^[e]”, says the Lord, “and do not touch an unclean thing^[f]. And I will take you in ¹⁸and be a father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me”, says the Lord Almighty. 7 ¹Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every stain^[g] of flesh and spirit, perfecting^[h] holiness in the fear of God.
