16 How can the temple of the true God and the statues of other gods agree? We are the temple of the living God. God has said,

“I will live with them.
    I will walk among them.
I will be their God.
    And they will be my people.” (Leviticus 26:12; Jeremiah 32:38; Ezekiel 37:27)

17 So,

“Come out from among them
    and be separate,
    says the Lord.
Do not touch anything that is not pure and ‘clean.’
    Then I will receive you.” (Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34,41)

18 And,

“I will be your Father.
    You will be my sons and daughters,
    says the Lord who rules over all.” (2 Samuel 7:14; 7:8)
