GOD’S WORD Translation
16 Can God’s temple contain false gods? Clearly, we are the temple of the living God. As God said,
“I will live and walk among them.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.”
17 The Lord says, “Get away from unbelievers.

Have nothing to do with anything unclean.[a]

18 The Lord Almighty says, “I will be your Father,
and you will be my sons and daughters.”
