Matthew 24:49. Beat his fellow-servants. The faithful ones, since the others would join with him. He plays the lord over God's heritage (1 Peter 5:3), abusing instead of nourishing the household (Matthew 24:45). Unfaithfulness to Christ, speedily manifests itself in such conduct: censure of others, pride toward others, despotism over others, who are ‘fellow-servants.'

Shall eat and drink with the drunken. To show laxity of conduct toward the evil members of the household, and to invite the world to help him revel. Beating the fellow-servants leads to worldliness and immorality.
