Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship does light have with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14)

Having defended his #ministry, #Paul turned to make his appeals to the Corinthian #Christians

In the middle of opening his heart to them, and expecting them to open their hearts to him, Paul exhorted the Corinthian Christians to not become unequal #partners with #unbelievers. He did not want them to compromise their #faith by participating in various idolatrous matters.

While 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1 does seem a bit discordant in the midst of Paul's message, we do best to understand it as from Paul and placed here in this context.
Why would Paul be concerned about possible #idolatry among the Corinthian Christians?
