KJV ORIGINAL

Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

I don't mean you have to completely avoid everyone in the world who's sleeping around, being greedy, scamming people, or worshipping other things — because honestly, you'd have to leave planet Earth entirely to do that.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

You can't avoid every messy person on Earth, so don't try to escape the world — just don't let it shape who you are.

The LORD is going to be absolutely overwhelming to them — he's going to make all the fake gods of the world completely powerless and irrelevant. And when that happens, people everywhere will worship him right where they are, even in the most distant places and cultures.
