2 Corinthians 6:14

The holy apostle closes this chapter with an exhortation to avoid all intimacy with idolators, either in civil affairs, in marriages, or in religious worship, lest they be brought into communion with their idolatry; there being no more agreement between. believer and an idolater, than betwixt light and darkness, betwixt Christ and Satan.

And, as we must not join with idolaters in spiritual communion or religious worship, so should we have no communion with them in marriages; that having proved. dangerous snare to the souls of many, our divines have justly pronounced such marriages sinful.

Nay, it is both wise and safe to have as little civil communion with idolaters as we can; and when we are necessitated to have civil communion with them, we must utterly avoid all sinful communion with them, that is, all communion with them in their sins.

Learn, That to associate with idolaters, or join in affinity with them, but especially to communicate with them in their idolatrous worship, is. God-provoking and. wrath-procuring sin: Be ye not unequally and unsuitiably yoked with unbelievers.
