2 Corinthians 6:16 in Context — 2 Corinthians 6

14 Ne vous mettez pas avec les infidèles sous un joug étranger. Car quel rapport y a-t-il entre la justice et l’iniquité? Ou qu’y a-t-il de commun entre la lumière et les ténèbres?

15 Quel accord y a-t-il entre Christ et Bélial? Ou quelle part a le fidèle avec l’infidèle?

16 Quel rapport y a-t-il entre le temple de Dieu et les idoles? Car nous sommes le temple du Dieu vivant, comme Dieu l’a dit: J’habiterai et je marcherai au milieu d’eux; je serai leur Dieu, et ils seront mon peuple.

17 C’est pourquoi, Sortez du milieu d’eux, et séparez-vous, dit le Seigneur; ne touchez pas à ce qui est impur, et je vous accueillerai.

18 Je serai pour vous un père, Et vous serez pour moi des fils et des filles, Dit le Seigneur tout-puissant.
