Scholars unanimously note that Paul is quoting Isaiah 52:11, a command originally for the Israelites to leave pagan Babylon in purity. Paul reapplies this principle to Christians, urging them to separate from the sinful lifestyles and idolatrous influences of the unbelieving world, just as Israel was called to leave a corrupt city.
