2 Corinthians 6:14 (NLT) 14Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?

2 Corinthians 6:16 (NLT) 16And what union can there be between God’s temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: “I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

2 Corinthians 6:15 (NLT) 15What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?

 2 Corinthians 6:18 (NLT) 18And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty.”

2 Corinthians 6:17 (NLT) 17Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the LORD. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you.

 Answering Two Questions from Verse 17

1)    Why should they ‘Come out from among them?’

Answer: Because believers are the temple of the living God, which makes them a habitation for the Most High. They are a special people.

2)       Who is the ‘them’ in this verse?

Answer: First and foremost, they are unbelievers. But Paul is not advocating absolute separation, but abstinence from any kind of familiarity.

What is it that Paul’s readers are to separate themselves from?

1)    Gentiles, as the people of God are a separate people in election, redemption, and the effectual calling, and ought to be so in their conduct and conversation.

2)    They ought to separate themselves from all superstition and from the evil customs and manners of the world.
