He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
The people you walk with shape you: walk with the wise and you grow wise.
2 Corinthians 6:14
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?
Paul’s word on yoking your life to someone who does not share your faith: when choosing a partner, look for one who walks the same way. It is not a call to leave a marriage you are already in (1 Corinthians 7:12-13).
KJV2 Corinthians 6:14 in context
11O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. 12Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. 13Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged. 14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16And 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. 17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
Paul’s most personal letter, about suffering, weakness and God’s comfort.
