## 2 Corinthians 6:16-17 in Context (Verses 13–18 KJV)
 
 [13 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/6/13) Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto *my* children,) be ye also enlarged.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/6/14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
 
 [15 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/6/15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
 
 [16 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/6/16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in *them*; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/6/17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean *thing*; and I will receive you,
 
 [18 ](/kjv/2-corinthians/6/18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
