2 Corinthians 6:12-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹²You are not restrained ^[a]by us, but ^(A)you are restrained in your own ^[b]affections. ¹³Now in a like ^(B)exchange—I speak as to ^(C)children—open wide to us also.

¹⁴^(D)Do not be ^[c]bound together with ^(E)unbelievers; for what ^(F)partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? ¹⁵Or what ^(G)harmony has Christ with ^[d]Belial, or ^[e]what has a ^(H)believer in common with an ^(I)unbeliever? ¹⁶Or ^(J)what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are ^(K)the temple of ^(L)the living God; just as God said,

“^(M)I will ^(N)dwell in them and ^(O)walk among them;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
¹⁷“^(P)Therefore, ^(Q)come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord.
“And do not touch what is unclean;
And I will welcome you.
¹⁸“^(R)And I will be a father to you,
And you shall be ^(S)sons and daughters to Me,”
Says the Lord Almighty.
