2 Corinthians 6:18

Identity and self-worthGod's loveGod's presenceParents and children

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.”

And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
