| There are two types of sins that are mentioned here. Some sins are “open.” There are those whose lives are, as the saying goes, ‘like an open book.’ Their deeds and failures are public knowledge and “reported commonly” (1 Corinthians 5:1). On the other hand, there are those who are able to cover their sins and lifestyle, and so their true character does not come to light until later on. If we are not careful, we can be defiled by association, or as it says, “be partaker of other men’s sins.” Many Christians have found themselves in compromising situations because they have not heeded this warning. The lesson is, we need to choose our friends and associates very carefully and in the fear of the Lord. |
