• 2 Corinthians 6:14

  Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?

• 1 Corinthians 7:12-16

  [12] But to the rest I--not the Lord--say, if any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is content to live with him, let him not leave her. [13] The woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he is content to live with her, let her not leave her husband. [14] For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now are they holy. [15] Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace. [16] For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

• 1 Corinthians 15:33

  Don't be deceived! "Evil companionships corrupt good morals."

• 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

  [14] Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness? [15] What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? [16] What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people." [17] Therefore, "'Come out from among them, And be separate,' says the Lord, 'Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you. [18] I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,' says the Lord Almighty."

• Proverbs 31:30

  Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.

• 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

  [4] Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, [5] doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; [6] doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; [7] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

• Proverbs 4:23

  Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it is the wellspring of life.

  [3] neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor his daughter shall you take to your son. [4] For he will turn away your son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of Yahweh be kindled against you, and he will destroy you quickly.

• 2 Timothy 3:1-5

  [1] But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come. [2] For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, [4] traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; [5] holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also.

• Deuteronomy 7:3

  neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor his daughter shall you take to your son.
