Associate and Partner

So, there I was on Sunday making a big point about how the ESV had poorly translated Ephesians 5:7 to say "do not associate with them." I am surprised now that no one came up to me and pointed to their ESV that reads "do not be partners with them."

Evidently my copy (and that of the church Bibles) is the 2001 edition. If I had had the 2007 edition, I would have saved a few words of explanation, although everyone using the 2001 edition may have been scratching their heads. The online version will have the 2007 edition, if you need to double check your own reading. Or you can go to this site where someone took the time to list other variations.
