bound together

2 Cor 6:14 says: " Do not be bound together with unbelievers..." and later in the same passage: "Come out from among them and be separate."

These are bold ideas and make it difficult for me to discern sometimes what it means to be "in the world but not of the world."


Do we ever stop to reflect on our relationships and evaluate whether or not they are healthy ? Do you spend time with people who drain you or cause you to stumble ? Do I ( do you) have the courage to pull away and separate ? How can this happen without coming off as arrogant or "thinking too highly of ourselves" ?
