2 Corinthians 6:16-18 ESV (16) What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, "I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (17) Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, (18) and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says () the Lord Almighty."

2 Corinthians 6:16-18 CEV (16) Do idols belong in the temple of God? We are the temple of the living God, as God himself says, "I will live with these people and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people." (17) The Lord also says, "Leave them and stay away! Don't touch anything that isn't clean. Then I will welcome you (18) and be your Father. You will be my sons and my daughters, as surely as I am () God, the All-Powerful."

2 Corinthians 6:16-18 GW (16) Can God's temple contain false gods? Clearly, we are the temple of the living God. As God said, "I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people." (17) The Lord says, "Get away from unbelievers. Separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with anything unclean. Then I will welcome you." (18) The Lord Almighty () says, "I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters."

2 Corinthians 6:16-18 GNB (16) How can God's temple come to terms with pagan idols? For we are the temple of the living God! As God himself has said, "I will make my home with my people and live among them; I will be their God, and they shall be my people." (17) And so the Lord says, "You must leave them and separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with what is unclean, and I will accept you. (18) I will be your father, and you shall be my sons and daughters, says (,) the Lord Almighty."

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
