11O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open.

12You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

13Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.

14Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

15And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

16And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: 'I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.' 'Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord.

23Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,

24saying, 'Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!'

25But Jesus rebuked him, saying, 'Be quiet, and come out of him!'

26And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.

27Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, 'What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.'

28And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.
