Warning against Pagan Influences


Good News Bible

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Warning against Pagan Influences

14 “Do not try to work together as equals
with unbelievers, for it cannot be done.
How can light and darkness live together?
15 How can Christ and the Devil agree?
What does a believer have in common with
an unbeliever?
16 How can God’s temple come to terms
with pagan idols? For we are the temple of
living God! As God himself has said, ‘I will
make my home with my people and live
among them; I will be their God, and they
shall be my people.’
17 And so the Lord says, ‘You must leave
them and separate yourselves from them.
Have nothing to do with what is unclean,
and I will accept you.
18 I will be your father, and you shall be
my sons and daughters, says the Lord
Almighty.’”
