 * Depart, depart, go out from there; touch no unclean thing; go out from the midst of her; purify yourselves.
 * Isaiah 52:11 ESV


 * Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
 * “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
 * and I will be their God,
 * and they shall be my people.
 * Therefore go out from their midst,
 * and be separate from them, says the Lord,
 * and touch no unclean thing;
 * then I will welcome you,
 * and I will be a father to you,
 * and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
 * says the Lord Almighty.”
 * Paul of Tarsus, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 ESV

Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. ... In her heart she boasts, ‘I sit enthroned as queen. I am not a widow; I will never mourn.’
 * Revelation 17:18, 18:4-5,7 NIV


 * Come out of here, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues; for her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her; for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
