@MelonieMac Yes and No. Bad company corrupts good morals. Better to be an example to them.
@MelonieMac This cant be the right translation, even jesus himself dined with all these people that are listed. .
@MelonieMac My Bible doesn't have that portion.
@MelonieMac This has to be be placed within the context of where it was written; in Corinth. Historical and cultural context matters. The theme and occasion of this text speaks directly to something we are not apart of. It applies to our lives, but so does the error of self-righteousness.
@MelonieMac I read chapters 4-5 just this afternoon. Paul makes clear this applies to only fellow believers and not those who have yet to believe.
