But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer who is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or verbally abusive, a drunkard or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let him leave. A brother or a sister is not bound in such cases. God has called you to live in peace.

However, if you do get married, you have not sinned, and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But such people will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.

Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize.

also to submit to such people, and to everyone who works and labors with them.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore recognize such people.
