2 Corinthians 6:14-18
“Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness? What concord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Therefore, “‘Come out from among them, and be separate,’ says the Lord. ‘Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you. I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,’ says the Lord Almighty.””
Paul is writing to the church in Corinth, a bustling port city known for its diverse cultures and religious practices. He is addressing issues within the community, encouraging believers to live consistently with their new identity in Christ amidst the surrounding pagan influences.
What does being 'separate' look like in your life without withdrawing from the world entirely?
