12. Our feelings of love for you have not stopped. It is you who have stopped your feelings of love for us.
13. I speak to you as if you were my children. Do the same as we have done—open your hearts also.
14. You are not the same as those who don’t believe. So don’t join yourselves to them. Good and evil don’t belong together. Light and darkness cannot share the same room.

16. God’s temple cannot have anything to do with idols, and we are the temple of the living God. As God said, “I will live with them and walk with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Leviticus 26:11-12
17. “So come away from those people and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don’t touch anything that is not clean, and I will accept you.” Isaiah 52:11
