Question:
You know how it says in 2 Corinthians 6:14 that we should not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. Well, do you know if it is wrong to be with unbelievers in school?

Answer:
Second Corinthians 6:14 says: “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.”

“Be ye not” indicates things that we can control. Up to a certain age a child has no choice as to whether he goes to school or not, for the law requires that he either attend school or is home-schooled. This verse is speaking of being “yoked together.”
We may be together with many unbelievers in school, but attending school does not make us yoked together with them. To be yoked together would be to be linked with another person or persons with the purpose of accomplishing a definite goal. The apostle is speaking in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 primarily of religious links. “What agreement hath the temple of God with idols?” (verse 16).
So, it is not wrong to be with unbelievers in school. But it is important that we are aware of the spiritual dangers at school and in all of the world. The Bible tells us that we are defiled when we are around anything that is not of our heavenly Father: “Be not deceived: evil communications [or, associations] corrupt good manners” (1 Corinthians 15:33). This is why we need to be cleansed daily “with the washing of water by the Word” (Ephesians 5:26). And we need to depend on the Lord in order to be able to deal with the “peer pressure” that Satan desires to use to control us.
