1 Corinthians 5:9. wrote unto you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators;

'I wrote unto you in my epistle' -'Paul mentions. letter to the Corinthians we don't have. We don't have it because we don't need it. It isn't "lost". "Lost" gives the impression we were supposed to have it and can't because it's "lost". The God who graciously preserved for us the 66 books we have could have preserved more had it been His will. He didn't, therefore He decided not to. There are other books alluded to in the Scriptures but there are no "lost" books.' (McGuiggan p. 64)

'to have no company with fornicators' -'to stop associating with sexually immoral people.' (Wms)

'company' -'to mix up with.' (Robertson p. 115) 'The word is compounded of 'together', and 'up and down among', and 'to mingle'. It denotes therefore, not only close, but habitual, intercourse.' (Vincent p. 211)
