    In the verse: And these,

    1 Cor. 5:11

    "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."

    Why is the word "no" not spelled "know"?

    Hi Michael The verse is correct and their is a figure of speech in saying no not to to get the importance of the point across. Also evil communications corrupt good manners, in the east when they broke bread it wasn't just having a meal

    you were spending time and discussing the days events.

    Hi Michael. The verse is correct in stating "...with such an one no not to eat." One could write it this way for clarity: 'with such a person, not only don't keep company with him, but also don't even eat a meal with him'.

    Sharing a meal with someone affords more connection than maybe talking or walking with him. Paul says, have nothing to do with such a person who is considered a brother in the faith. What Paul is saying in this great warning, is that, 'this brother is an imposter & needs to be treated & avoided as such'. Verses 12 &13: the Church has to judge those within the Body of Christ, but God judges those outside her & such a person who comes to her & engages in such sinful activity, has to be condemned for his lifestyle & put out of the congregation.
