14Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
Focused Passage
2 Corinthians 6:14
Receiving Grace, Enduring Ministry, and Holy Separation as God's Temple
Paul pleads with the Corinthians not to receive God's grace in vain, commends apostolic ministry through suffering and Spirit-formed integrity, opens his heart and calls for reciprocal affection, then commands holy separation from idolatrous unbelief because the church is the temple and family of the living God.
