καὶ μὴ συνκοινωνεῖτε κ.τ.λ. Cf. Ephesians 5:7; Revelation 18:4; 1 Timothy 5:22; 2 John 1:11; Psalms 50:18. ‘Have a share with them in—become jointly responsible for’ by approving (Romans 1:32) or acquiescing in without protest.

ἔργοις, as in Galatians 5:19; Romans 13:12. The word is constantly used in a disparaging sense in St Paul.

μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε. ‘Awaken their consciences,’ ‘convict’ them, ‘show them to themselves in their true colours.’ This may be by public exposure or open reproof, but the word refers rather to the result than to the means, cf. John 16:8; Wis 1:3; Wis 1:5; Wis 12:2, esp. Ephesians 2:11 τὸ γὰρ�, 1 Corinthians 14:24. For object supply αὐτοὺς, the sinners, not the sin.
