The Comforter (Gk. parakletos, helper), which is the Holy Ghost.  –John 14:26 (KJV)

But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering (Gk. leitourgikós, serving, helping) spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?   –Hebrews 1:13-14 (KJV)

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called. –1 Timothy 6:20 (KJV)

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. –2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (KJV)

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. –James 4:1-8 (KJV)

“Come out from among them,” God says! And then we have the promise of God that He will receive us, He will be to us a Father and we shall be truly His sons and daughters. If you want the joy of the Spirit’s presence, the joy of unbroken fellowship with God, then break your yoke with unbelievers today. Come out and be separate and God will bless you.  –John R. Rice, The Unequal Yoke, p. 13.

An idle time wasting sensual sporter, every one should look on with pity as a miserable wretch. –Richard Baxter
