2 Corinthians 6 v 14-18
- 14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
- 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
- 16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.
- 17 Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing and I will receive you.
- 18 I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

- 6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.

2 John 7-11
- 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, refusing to confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.
- 8 Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be fully rewarded.
- 9 Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son.
- 10 **If anyone comes to you but does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your home or even greet him.
- 11 Whoever greets such a person shares in his evil deeds.**
-
Titus 3:10-11
- 10 Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition,
- 11 knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.
-
Romans 16:17-19
- 17 Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them.
- 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
- 19 Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.
-
Ephesians 5:11-12
- 11 Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
- 12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
-
Matthew 7:15-16
- 15 Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
- 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
