And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

May the Lord find you separated from unbelievers, when He comes in Jesus name.

See you at the top in Jesus name.
