Bible Question: How is it possible to obey 2 Cor 6:14 if...

If it cannot be known whether an individual is an unbeliever, then how can one keep the command found in 2 Cor. 6:14?

NASB 2 Corinthians 6:14a Do not be bound together with unbelievers;

AMPLIFIED 2 Corinthians 6:14a Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers [do not make mismated alliances with them or come under a different yoke with them, inconsistent with your faith].

If it is impossible to discern whether an individual is an unbeliever, then it is also impossible to obey the command in 2 Cor. 6:14.

His Commandments Are Not Burdensome

NASB 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

AMPLIFIED 1 John 5:3 For the [true] love of God is this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teaching]. And these orders of His are not irksome (burdensome, oppressive, or grievous).

Bible Answer: Hi Kalos,

Mark gave an excellent answer.

This would also be a verse that shows us our relationship with the Father.
Are we connecting ourselves to anything in the world that does not produce good fruit? Are we supporting movies that show murder, sex and violence?
Are we supporting clubs that support drunkeness? Do we work for a dishonest employer? In anything that we do does it subtract from the righteousness that God has given us in Christ?
2 Cor 6:14 encompasses our entire lifestyle and attitude including marriage and all our associations.
We are in the world, but are not to be a part of the world.(Jam 4:4)
