Do not keep company with anyone named a brother but is a fornicator, covetous, idolator, a railer, a drunkard or a thief

Paul, apostle of the Lord, clarifies the principle of separation, in this case when he speaks of separation he refers to the church of Christ and its purity. He was making it clear that Christians and faithful to the Lord could not associate with people who claim to be brothers in Christ, but his works prove otherwise.

These people to whom the apostle refers are those who say they walk in the Holy ways of the Lord, but the reality is that they walk under their own lusts, they are fornicators, greedy, idolaters, drunkards and thieves:

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

1 Corinthians 5:11

Let us also take this advice, let us always remember that not all those who are on the Paths have good intentions, because there are false teachers, false prophets, causes of division, creators of contentions, who do not really seek the Kingdom and its justice, but who seek to destroy the good work of the Lord, so let us be careful about assembling with such people.

Brothers in the faith of our Lord, let us be wise, and let us not get carried away by these people, so that we are not dragged together with them to their sad end, because they can influence our lives and make us not be pleasing before the Lord. Peace be with all of us.

God lifts up the humble and casts the wicked down to the ground
The one who heals all your ailments
