2 Corinthians 6:12

Compare all

10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many ^arich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Be Holy

11 O Corinthians!¹ We have spoken openly to you, ^aour heart is wide open.

12 You are not restricted by us, but ^ayou are restricted by your own affections.

13 Now in return for the same ^a(I speak as to children), you also be open.

14 ^aDo not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For ^bwhat fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what² communion has light with darkness?

15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

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.”
