Low Views of the Difference God's Grace Makes Between Christians and the World

The apostle addresses the spirit of compromise among the Corinthians.

1. Compromise as an equal yoke v14a.
2. Compromise with no common ground v14b-15.
3. Compromise inconsistent with God's indwelling v16a.
4. Compromise is contrary to God's covenant v16b-18.
   Application:
   i) The extent of the application of the principle of separation:

• marriage
• business partnerships
• political power sharing
• false ecumenism
  ii) The change assumed - Christians are to appear distinct from the world
  iii) The continuity of the Covenant.
