⁹ I wrote to you in my letter not to associate^(A) with sexually immoral people—

¹¹ Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,^(A) but rather expose them.

¹⁴ Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them,^(A) in order that they may feel ashamed.^(B)

Warning Against Idleness

⁶ In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,^(A) we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from^(B) every believer who is idle and disruptive^(C) and does not live according to the teaching^[a] you received from us.^(D)

Warning Against Idolatry

¹⁴ Do not be yoked together^(A) with unbelievers.^(B) For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?^(C)

⁷ Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.^(A)

² And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning^(A) and have put out of your fellowship^(B) the man who has been doing this?
