2 Corinthians 6:17-18 King James Version (KJV)
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians 6:17-18 English Standard Version (ESV)
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.”

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
17 We need to be separate from this unclean evil world. This is not saying we should not be influences in this world because that would be us hiding our light under a basket instead of putting in on a pole, we are also not to let the darkness smother our light and that is what he is referring to. If we come to a place in the world where our walk with the Lord is hindered by this world then we need to remove ourselves from them and further grow in God. We cant have that closeness with God when we are trying to live with this world or for this world.
18 God wants us to be His children but we have a choose to be adopted by Him, the price for adoption was paid on the cross and all we have to do is accept the divine relationship with Him we have.
