Each year on that day, families shared a meal that included a young, unblemished lamb. Christians did not celebrate the Passover. However, that meal reminded them of the vital role that the lamb’s blood played in saving the Israelite firstborn on Nisan 14, 1513 B.C.E. At that time, God’s angel of death killed every firstborn of the Egyptians but spared those of the obedient Israelites.

That worship promoted sensuality and immorality. (Compare <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070738/6/0">study note on 1Co 7:2</a>.)

Greek word <em>sy·na·na·miʹgny·mai,</em> rendered “keeping company with,” means “to mix up together.” (The same Greek verb occurs at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070738/19/0" data-bid="20-1" class="b">2Th 3:14</a>.) Thus, “keeping company” with others would imply having close fellowship or companionship with them and sharing their views and sentiments. Christians in Corinth had to “stop keeping company with,” that is, refuse to mingle with, any unrepentant sinner. They were to “remove the wicked person from among [themselves].”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070738/20/0" data-bid="21-1" class="b">1Co 5:13</a>.</p> <p id="p22" data-pid="22" class="s5"><strong>who is sexually immoral:</strong> See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070738/8/0">study note on 1Co 5:9</a>.</p> <p id="p23" data-pid="23" class="s5"><strong>a reviler:</strong> Or “a verbally abusive person.” A reviler is a person who regularly insults others with the intention of hurting them.

In the Bible, eating together was often a sign of friendship and led to further association. Jewish Christians understood this very well, since Jews did not keep company with or eat with people “of the nations.”—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070738/22/0" data-bid="23-1" class="b">Mt

person from among yourselves:</strong> At the beginning of this chapter, Paul gave instructions to remove from the congregation a man who was living a sexually immoral life. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070738/24/0" data-bid="25-1" class="b">1Co 5:1, 2</a>; see <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070738/9/0">study notes on 1Co 5:1,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070738/10/0"> 5</a>.) Citing his authority for such instruction, Paul here quotes Jehovah’s law to Israel: “Remove what is bad from your midst.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070738/25/0" data-bid="26-1" class="b">De 17:7</a>) The quote is apparently taken from the <em>Septuagint,</em> which reads “the wicked (evil) person” instead of “what is bad (wicked; evil).” Similar exhortations can be found at <a
