2 Corinthians 6:14

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. for what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Do not be yoked together
Genesis 24:3-4 "I want you to swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living, but will go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac."
Deuteronomy 22:10 Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.
1 Corinthians 5:9-10 I have written to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people--not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

with unbelievers
1 Corinthians 6:6 But instead, one brother goes to law against another--and this in front of unbelievers!
2 Corinthians 11:13-14 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

what fellowship can light have with darkness?
Ephesians 5:6-7 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them.
Ephesians 5:11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
1 John 1:6 If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.
