A frank exhortation of the reconciling ministry
6:14—7:1
2 Cor. 6
:14

1Do not become
2adissimilarly yoked with unbelievers. For what
3bpartnership do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what
cfellowship does
dlight have
4with edarkness?
2 Cor. 6
:15
6:15
And what concord does
aChrist have
1with Belial? Or what part does a believer have with an
bunbeliever?
2 Cor. 6
:16
6:16
And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the
atemple of the
1bliving God, even as God said,
c"I will dwell among them and walk among
them; and
dI will be their God, and they will be My people.''
2 Cor. 6
:17
6:17
Therefore a"come out from their midst and be
1separated, says the Lord, and do not touch
2what is
bunclean; and I will
3welcome you'';
2 Cor. 6
:18
6:18
"And I will be
1a aFather to you, and you will be
2bsons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.''
