|
|
16. What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
|
16. And G1161 what G5101 agreement G4783 hath the temple G3485 of God G2316 with G3326 idols G1497 ? for G1063 ye G5210 are G2075 the temple G3485 of the living G2198 God G2316 ; as G2531 God G2316 hath said G2036 , I will dwell G1774 in G1722 them G846 , and G2532 walk in G1704 them ; and G2532 I will be G2071 their G846 God G2316 , and G2532 they G846 shall be G2071 my G3427 people G2992 .

|
|
18. and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
|
18. And G2532 will be G2071 a G1519 Father G3962 unto you G5213 , and G2532 ye G5210 shall be G2071 G1519 my G3427 sons G5207 and G2532 daughters G2364 , saith G3004 the Lord G2962 Almighty G3841 .
