16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For ayou are the temple of the living God. As God has said: b“I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore a“Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”
18 “I awill be a Father to you, And you shall be My bsons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.”
Translate, "I will be to you in the relation of a Father, and ye shall be to me in the relation of sons and daughters." This is a still more endearing relation than (II Corinthians 6:16), "I will be their God, and they . . . My people." Compare the promise to Solomon (I Chronicles 28:6; Isaiah 43:6; Revelation 21:3, Revelation 21:7; Jeremiah 31:1, Jeremiah 31:9).
Lord Almighty—The Lord the Universal Ruler: nowhere else found but in Revelation. The greatness of the Promiser enhances the greatness of the promises.
