For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, “I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. ¹⁷ “Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE,” says the Lord. “AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you. ¹⁸ “And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty.	14 Deu 22:10 Co1 5:9 Co1 6:6 Eph 5:7 Eph 5:11 Jo1 1:6 15 Co1 10:21 Act 5:14 Pe1 1:21 Co1 6:6 16 Co1 10:21 Co1 3:16 Co1 6:19 Mat 16:16 Exo 29:45 Lev 26:12 Jer 31:1 Eze 37:27 Exo 25:8 Joh 14:23 Rev 2:1 17 Isa 52:11 Rev 18:4 18 Sa2 7:14 Ch1 17:13 Isa 43:6 Hos 1:10 Rom 8:14
