Bible Answer: "Separation is not from contact with evil in the world or the church, but from complicity with and conformity to it." - - - - - - - - - - AMPLIFIED Psalm 1:1 BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly [FOLLOWING THEIR ADVICE, THEIR PLANS AND PURPOSES], nor stands [SUBMISSIVE AND INACTIVE] in the path where sinners walk, nor sits down [TO RELAX AND REST] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather. Psalm 1:1 AMPLIFIED (Emphasis added.) 2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, "come out from among them" '(3) Separation is not from contact with evil in the world or the church, but from complicity with and conformity to it (John 17:15; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Galatians 6:1). '(4) . . . Here, as in all else, Christ is the model. He was "holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners" (Hebrews 7:26) and yet in such contact with them for their salvation that the Pharisees, who illustrate the mechanical and ascetic conception of separation (See Scofield "Matthew 3:7"), judged Him as having lost His Nazarite character (Luke 7:39 Cf ; 1 Corinthians 9:19-23; 10:27).'
