14 [z] Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For [a] what partnership has

righteousness with lawlessness? Or [b] what fellowship has light with darkness?

15 [c] What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share

with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For

[d] we are the temple of the living God; as God said,

[e] “I will make my dwelling among them and [f] walk among them,

and [g] I will be their God,

and they shall be my people.

17 Therefore [h] go out from their midst,

and be separate from them, says the Lord,

and touch no unclean thing;

then I will welcome you,

18 [i] and I will be a father to you,

and you shall be sons and daughters to me,

says the Lord Almighty.”

1 Since we have these promises, beloved, [j] let us cleanse ourselves from every

defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of

God.

2 [k] Make room in your hearts for us. [l] We have wronged no one, we have

corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one. 3 I do not say this to

condemn you, for I said before that [m] you are in our hearts, to die together and

to live together. 4 I am acting with [n] great boldness toward you; [o] I have great

pride in you; [p] I am filled with comfort. In all our affliction, I am overflowing

with joy.
