Don't Be a 'Joint-Sharer' in Sin
This verse is a direct and unambiguous command to avoid participating in the sins that bring God's wrath. Scholars highlight the strong Greek word used, 'summetochoi,' which means 'joint-sharers.' This isn't just about avoiding sin yourself, but actively refusing to be a partner with those who practice impurity and greed, which excludes them from God's kingdom.
