IPD:Ill company
verses
2 Thessalonians CHAP. III.
He craueth their prayers for himselfe, 3 testifieth what confidence hee hath in them, 5 maketh request to God in their behalfe, 6 giueth them diuers precepts, especially to shun idlenesse, and ill company, 16 And last of all concludeth with prayer and salutation.
6 Now we command you, brethren, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that ye withdraw your selues from euery brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which hee receiued of vs.
7 For your selues know how yee ought to follow vs: for wee behaued not our selues disorderly among you,
8 Neither did wee eate any mans bread for nought: but wrought with labour and trauaile night and day, that wee might not bee chargeable to any of you.
9 Not because we haue not power, but to make our selues an ensample vnto you to follow vs.
10 For euen when wee were with you, this wee commanded you, that if any would not worke, neither should he eate.
11 For we heare that there are some which walke among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busi-bodies.
12 Now them that are such, we command, and exhort by our Lord Iesus Christ, that with quietnesse they worke, and eat their owne bread.
13 But ye, brethren, be not wearie in well doing.
14 And if any man obey not our word, by this Epistle note that man, and haue no company with him, that he may be ashamed,
15 Yet count him not as an enemie, but admonish him as a brother.
Shunning bad company is also talked about in 1cor15.
1 Corinthians CHAP. XV.
3 By Christes resurrection, 12 he proueth the necessitie of our resurrection, against all such as deny the resurrection of the body. 21 The fruit, 35 and maner thereof, 51 And of the changing of them, that shall bee found aliue at the last day.
1 Corinthians Chapter 15
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue.
23 But euery man in his owne order. Christ the first fruits, afterward they that are Christs, at his comming.
24 Then commeth the end, when he shall haue deliuered vp the kingdome to God euen the Father, when he shall haue put downe all rule, and all authority and power.
25 For he must reigne, till hee hath put all enemies vnder his feete.
26 The last enemie that shall be destroyed, is death.
27 For he hath put all things vnder his feete; but when hee saith all things are put vnder him, it is manifest that he is excepted which did put all things vnder him.
28 And when all things shall bee subdued vnto him, then shal the Sonne also himselfe bee subiect vnto him that put all things vnder him, that God may be all in all.
29 Else what shal they do, which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for the dead?
30 And why stand we in ieopardy euery houre?
31 I protest by your reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesus our Lord, I die dayly.
32 If after the maner of men I haue fought with beasts at Ephesus, what aduantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let vs eate and drinke, for to morrowe wee die.
33 Bee not deceiued: euill communications corrupt good manners.
34 Awake to righteousnesse, and sinne not: for some haue not the knowledge of God, I speake this to your shame.
Evil communication corrupt good manners could also mean "Bad companionship corrupts good manners[1]."
Some dont have the knowledge of God[34].
What should we do with someone that is ill company?
Shun ill company and have no company with him or her.
