2 Corinthians 6:15

Jesus
FaithSpiritual warfare

13 As a fair exchange, I ask you as my children: Open wide your hearts also.

14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”

17 “Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
