The exhortation found in 2 Corinthians 6:14 “not to be yoked  together with unbelievers” has  been interpreted and applied  differently by Christians. Some Christians try to hide from the  realities of everyday life in a  kind of escapism and religious  isolation, while others compromise by trying to accommodate  the societies’ demands and current trends in all kinds of worldly  religious practices. These extreme positions cause Christians to  be without any influence in the world. The primary aim of the  article is to show how believers in New Testament times  handled the situation when they were yoked together with un- believers. In order to propose Scriptural guidelines for contem- porary believers, the  focus will be on the example of the  apostles while the teaching of Paul to the slaves and of Peter to  the aliens in this world will also be discussed. Some other New  Testament perspectives are touched upon, inter alia the kind of  authority to be obeyed and teaching on the responsibilities and  attitude of believers. After the discussion of each part, pointers  will be suggested. In conclusion, guidelines towards a Christian  lifestyle within a secular context will be proposed
