Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what participation is there to righteousness and unrighteousness? or what fellowship has light unto darkness? What concord of Christ unto Belial? or what part has a faithful man with an infidel? And what harmony has the temple of God with idols? for we are the temple of the living God; as God said; I will live in them, and walk about among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.



But those things which they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. But I do not wish you to be the communicants of demons. You are not able to drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: you are not able to partake of the table of the Lord, and the table of demons. Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? whether are we stronger than he?

With it we bless the Lord, even the Father; and with it we scold the people, who have been made after the image of God: out of the same mouth come forth blessing and scolding. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Whether does the fountain out of the same chink send forth sweet water and bitter? read more.
My brethren, whether is the fig-tree able to produce olives, or the vine figs? Neither is the bitter fountain able to produce sweet water.


For we all fail in many things; if any one fails not in word, the same is a perfect man, able even to bridle the whole body. But if we put bridles into the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us; and we manage their whole body; behold also the ships, being so great, and driven by fierce winds, are managed by the smallest rudder, whithersoever the will of the steersman prefers; read more.
so also the tongue is a little member, and it boasts great things. Behold, how great a wood a little fire kindles! The tongue, a fire, the world of iniquity: the tongue sits down in the midst of our members, and corrupting the whole body, and setting on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire from hell. For every nature both of wild beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of oceanic animals, is subdued, and has been subjugated to human nature: but no one of men is able to tame the tongue; an incorrigible evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless the Lord, even the Father; and with it we scold the people, who have been made after the image of God: out of the same mouth come forth blessing and scolding. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Whether does the fountain out of the same chink send forth sweet water and bitter? My brethren, whether is the fig-tree able to produce olives, or the vine figs? Neither is the bitter fountain able to produce sweet water.
