12 You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained by your own affections.
13 But for the same reward – I speak as to children – open wide your hearts too.
14 Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness?
15 And what agreement has Messiah with Beliya‛al? Or what part does a believer have with an unbeliever?
16 And what union has the Dwelling Place of Elohim with idols? For you are a Dwelling Place of the living Elohim, as Elohim has said, “I shall dwell in them and walk among them, and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.”
17 Therefore, “Come out from among them and be separate, says יהוה, and do not touch what is unclean, and I shall receive you.
18 “And I shall be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says יהוה the Almighty.”
