Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:16 - What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:17 - Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
Unchecked Copy Box2Co 6:18 - and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”
