“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
King James Version (KJV)
5:11 Reprove them - To avoid them is not enough.
Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. See Eph 5:7. Works of darkness are those which please the powers of darkness. The Christian must have nothing whatever to do with these. We must not countenance any sinful device, but rather reprove it. This would prevent the patronage of many things which the world countenances.
And haue no fellowship with the vnfruitfull workes of darkenesse, but rather reproue them.
