Habitat For Humanity, long known as the nation's largest Christian ministry recently drew a great deal of fire when news became public that it was entering into a partnership with Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider.
Habitat made an agreement with Planned so they could "bypass" zoning regulations in Sarasota, Florida that restrict opening abortion facilities without certain multi-family buildings being present. In a statement released by the Sarasota City Commission, in early May, Habitat agreed to facilitate Planned parenthood opening an abortion facility in the area through a $10 (yes, ten dollar) real estate purchase from them.
Habitat publicly referred to it as being "merely a real estate transaction", even though Planned Parenthood would not be able to open the abortion facility without the direct help offered by Habitat; who by building housing on a portion of the land in the $10 real estate deal would allow Planned to skirt city requirements and obtain an occupancy permit.
Reps of both Planned and Habitat of Sarasota attended a May 5th Sarasota City Commission meeting and presented the plan to bypass the zoning laws in question: Habitat would get the property at essentially no cost ($10); the city would get a multi-family liner building; and Planned Parenthood could open another abortion facility. It was approved by the Commission by a vote of 3-2.
Even though Habitat of Florida is technically an "independent, autonomous affiliate that is governed by a local board" according to the national offices, the outcry from pro-life groups and individual citizens over the next few weeks brought enough attention to the subject that Habitat of Sarasota has now ended it's connections with Planned Parenthood, and the deal is officially off.
Habitat for Humanity International was founded as a Christian ministry in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller whose goal was to provide decent, affordable and safe housing for everyone it could; and over the last 30 years it has built and refurbished over a quarter of a million homes around the world. Planned Parenthood, in that same approximate period of time has participated in,advocated for, lobbied for, and donated millions in time,money, and litigation to help murder some 45+ million unborn babies in the United States alone.
So, while many are now praising them for terminating the deal, many others are still scratching their heads and asking: How can a "Christian" organization with a mission like Habitat for Humanity's ever even think of entering into such a deal with the devil to begin with?
I know of no Bible translation that omits this passage (and many others similar in theme).

2Corinthians 6:14-17 - Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And 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. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
