Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 6 in context

Scripture Focus

14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16And 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.

2 Corinthians 6:14-16

Biblical Context

The passage warns believers not to form close ties with those who are not aligned with God's way, contrasting righteousness/light with unrighteousness/darkness. It asserts that believers are the temple of the living God, where He dwells and walks, thus separating from idols.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, these verses speak not of outward rules but of inner alliance. Unions with unbelief mirror states of consciousness that deny your true nature; righteousness is the state of being in harmony with the I AM, while unrighteousness and darkness denote wandering thoughts that obscure that light. Christ and Belial are inner poles of choice—the higher perceived self in communion with God versus the lower impulse clinging to fear and separateness. The temple of God is your own awareness, the sanctuary you maintain by daily assumption. If you allow idols—false beliefs, craving, or social fear—to occupy you, you dilute your sacred space. The call is to affirm your oneness with the living God, to walk as light, and to dwell in the certainty that you are not divided but unified in God.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes and assume the feeling of the living God dwelling within you. For a few minutes, imagine yourself detached from all discord and declare quietly, 'I am the temple of the living God; God dwells in me and I dwell in God.'
