The actual definition is "differently yoked". Reading AROUND the passage will give us the sense of the meaning. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)

Like so many, this illustration is based on agricultural life.

If two animals of different size and strength become yoked together, both will suffer. Similarly, a 'believer' and an 'unbeliever', who are 'yoked together' by marriage, or close ties, will undoubtedly face friction and difficulties....their priorities in life will not match, and pain and discomfort will likely result. (1 Corinthians 15:33)

Why does the Bible say to be evenly yoked when you marry?

II Corinthians 6:14, " Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness." Being unequally yoked with anyone, not only a mate for life, is not good. You will only have problems that most of the time cannot be resolved. This includes marriage, business partnerships and the such. As the Scripture tells us there is no fellowship and no communion. I personally have seen the bad results of this many times. When you marry, if you are a Christian be sure he/she is a Christian. Also take heed that some Christians have problems with other Christian of different denominations.


How to send Tyra Banks show Bible verse about interracial marriage differences that was talked about on the show last week. Tyra wants to know where this bible verse is at?

Hi. The answer to the question is there is NO bible verse that say's that. There is a verse that say's we are not to be unequally yoked: Do Not Be Yoked With Unbelievers 14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?The meaning is that Christian's should not be married to a non Christian. No where does it say that we shouldn't be with others that don't share the love for our Savior because our lives are lived differently.God made all races and the statment above is wrong.Pastor Linda Conners

They can't really. The Bible says a Christian should not be unequally yoked/joined with a nonbeliever. My understanding is that means any kind of relationship business or personal etc However a Christian should maintain contact with the unsaved in an effort to win them to Christ.
