'Associate' in the Bible

“When you see a thief, you are pleased with him and condone his behavior,And you associate with adulterers.

He who goes about as a gossip reveals secrets;Therefore do not associate with a gossip [who talks freely or flatters].

Do not even associate with a man given to angry outbursts;Or go [along] with a hot-tempered man,

Do not associate with heavy drinkers of wine,Or with gluttonous eaters of meat,

My son, fear the Lord and the king;And do not associate with those who are given to change [of allegiance, and are revolutionary],

“Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd,And against the Man, My Associate,”Declares the Lord of hosts.“Strike the Shepherd so that the sheep [of the flock] may be scattered;And I will turn My hand and stretch it out against the little ones [of the flock].

But none of the rest [of the people, the non-believers] dared to associate with them; however, the people were holding them in high esteem and were speaking highly of them.

When he arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple.

I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate with [sexually] immoral people—

But actually, I have written to you not to associate with any so-called [Christian] brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater [devoted to anything that takes the place of God], or is a reviler [who insults or slanders or otherwise verbally abuses others], or is a drunkard or a swindler—you must not so much as eat with such a person.

So do not participate or even associate with them [in the rebelliousness of sin].

Now if anyone [in the church] does not obey what we say in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be ashamed and repent.
