1 Corinthians 5-6
1Co 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with (G4874 - pifm) fornicators:
1Co 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company (G4874 - pifm), 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.
company - G4874 - From G4862 and a compound of G303 and G3396; to mix up together, that is, (figuratively) associate with.
- G4862 - A primary preposition denoting union; with or together (but much closer than G3326 or G3844), that is, by association, companionship, process, resemblance, possession, instrumentality, addition, etc.
pifm - present infinitive middle (86, see 46, 50, 79).
Mood: Infinitive is a verbal noun. In Greek it has many more uses than it does in English, most of which are idiomatic and difficult to translate properly. In many instances the infinitive is translated using the English word 'to'.
Voice: Middle - represents the subject as acting in some way upon himself or concerning himself. Since English does not have a middle voice, it is usually difficult to translate the middle voice into English.
Tense: Present Indicative - represents contemporaneous (say what?) action, as opposed to action in the past or the future. In moods other than in the indicative mood, it refers only to continuous or repeated action.
