2nd Corinthians 6 NIV
11 We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians, and opened wide
our hearts to you.
12 We are not withholding our affection from you, but you are
withholding yours from us.
13 As a fair exchange—I speak as to my children—open wide
your hearts also.
14 Do not be yoked together with
unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship
can light have with darkness?
15 What harmony is there between Christ and
Belial ? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
16 What agreement is there between the
temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has
said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and
they will be my people.”
17 Therefore, “Come out from them and be
separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
18 And, “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons
and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
2 Corinthians 7 NIV
1 Therefore, since we have these promises,
dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body
and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have
wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.
3 I do not say this to condemn you; I have
said before that you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die
with you.
4 I have spoken to you with great
frankness; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our
troubles my joy knows no bounds.
