14Do not be mismatched in yoke with unbelievers. For what participation does righteousness have with lawlessness, or what participation does light have with darkness?15Or what harmony does Christ have with Beliar, or what part does a believer have with an unbeliever?16Or what agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said, "I will dwell among them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people."17Therefore come out from their midst and be separate, says the Lord, and do not touch what is unclean; then I will receive you.18And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.
Chapter 7
1Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of the flesh and of the spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.
