The unequal yoke is anything which unites a child of God and an unbeliever in a common purpose. (Deu 22:10).\n(2) Separation from evil implies\n(a) separation in desire, motive, and act, from the world, in the ethically bad sense of this present world-system.\n(See Scofield) - (Rev 13:8); and\n(b) separation from believers, especially false teachers, who are \"vessels unto dishonour\". (Ti2 2:20); (Ti2 2:21); (Jo2 1:9-11).\n(3) Separation is not from contact with evil in the world or the church, but from complicity with and conformity to. (Joh 17:15); (Co2 6:14-18); (Gal 6:1).\n(4) The reward of separation is the full manifestation of the divine fatherhood, (Co2 6:17); (Co2 6:18), unhindered communion and worship, (Heb 13:13-15), and fruitful service, (Ti2 2:21), as world-conformity involves the loss of these, though not of salvation. Here, as in all else, Christ is the model. He was \"holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners\", (Heb 7:26), and yet in such contact with them for their salvation that the Pharisees, who illustrate the mechanical and ascetic conception of separation,\n(See Scofield) - (Mat 3:7),\njudged Him as having lost His Nazarite character. (Luk 7:39) Cf; (Co1 9:19-23); (Co1 10:27).","title":"The Scofield Bible Commentary: 2 Corinthians: 2 Corinthia...","type":"page"}
