(14) Don't be unevenly yoked with unbelievers because what participation does righteousness and injustice have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?
The F.O.G
[14] Don't form intimate partnerships with unbelievers - it's like trying to harness an ox and a donkey together. What harmony can exist between righteousness and lawlessness? What fellowship can light have with darkness?
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Become not yoked with others—unbelievers, for what partaking is there to righteousness and lawlessness?
