2 Corinthians 6:16-7:1
New American Standard Bible
16 Or (A)what agreement does [a]the temple of God have with idols? For we are [b](B)the temple of (C)the living God; just as God said,
“(D)I will (E)dwell among them and (F)walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
17 (G)Therefore, (H)come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you.
18 (I)And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be (J)sons and daughters to Me,”
Says the Lord Almighty.
Paul Reveals His Heart
7 Therefore, having these promises, (K)beloved, (L)let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Corinthians 6:16-7:1
New International Version
16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols?(A) For we are the temple(B) of the living God.(C) As God has said:
“I will live with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people.”[a](D)
17 Therefore,
“Come out from them(E)
and be separate,
says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you.”[b](F)
18 And,
7 Therefore, since we have these promises,(I) dear friends,(J) let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness(K) out of reverence for God.
