“But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolator, reviler, drunkard or swindler. Not to even eat with such a one.”

You must be very lonely or very naive. ;)

You missed the point of what Paul was teaching. Read every word. There is a qualifier there. See if you can find it. Let me know when you figure it out. Hint: it’s six words.

“Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company corrupts good morals.’”
I Corinthians 15:3 (NASB)

Our Lord did instruct the disciples to not tolerate evil in the congregation (Matthew 18:15-17) but to confront a brother in error, first alone, then with one or two witnesses, then to the church, then if the first and second and third attempts fail, “let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.”
