People's Commentary (NT)
1 Corinthians 5:11
Now I have written unto you not to keep company. He now writes and
explains his meaning. Church members must not have social intercourse
with one who has been a member who is guilty of the grievous sins
named.
Covetous. A greedy person, under the influence of passions, not only
greedy for gain, but for self-indulgence. The Greek word "pleonektes"
implies this.
With such person no not to eat. Either at the Lord's table, or
in friendly meals, which would imply a brotherly recognition.
