DO NOT BE UNEQUALLY YOKED WITH UNBELIVERS

"Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers" is a biblical phrase found in:

*2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV)*

"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"

*Context:*
