“Be not ye therefore partakers with them”

“Be”: “Lit., become not. It is. warning against lapsing into old vices” (Vincent p. 399). “Partakers with them”: With them in these sins. “The Greek word refers to participation, not just association. For if we share in their practices, as Lot was warned in Sodom, we run the risk of sharing in their doom” (Stott p. 198). “To share in the sins of the world will also be to share in its punishments” (Boles p. 301). This means that we cannot assist or support people while they are in rebellion.
