For if the ministry of condemnation is glorious, much more does the ministry of righteousness exceed in glory.

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers; for what fellowship does righteousness have with lawlessness? And what partnership does light have with darkness?

And what agreement does Christ have with Belial? Or what part does a believer have with an unbeliever?

And what agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, as God has said, "I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."

For if the eagerness is present, it is acceptable according to what one has, and not according to what one does not have.
