2 Corinthians 6:13-15
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
13 Now as[a] the same return[b]— I speak as to my children— you also open-wide.
Do Not Be Mis-Yoked To Unbelievers; Be Separated Out To God Your Father
14 Do not be ones being mis-yoked to unbelievers[c]. For what partnership is there for righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship is there for light with darkness? 15 And what is the harmony[d] of Christ with Beliar[e]? Or what share is there for a believer with an unbeliever?
