NASB | 2 Corinthians 6:14 ¶ Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 6:14 ¶ Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? |
Bible Question: Does "unequally yoked" mean that you should not marry someone that have different beliefs than you? example: If one thinks everyone has the gift os speaking in tongues and the other doesn't. Even if they are both Christians and have the same beliefs about everything else in the bible. |
Bible Answer: "with unbelievers" is the key to understanding this verse. Diversity in Christ is not the issue. Rather, it is the distinction between faith in Christ and unbelief. Since you ask about getting married, and not about being married, this verse can be interpreted as advising against marrying an unbeliever (the ultimate alliance), but does not address differences in preferences, tradition or denomination. |
