The Pulpit Commentary - Ephesians 5:7

Separation from evil. The apostle counsels believers not to be partakers with sinners. That is, in their sins, not their punishment. We are here taught— I. THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR BELIEVERS TO PARTAKE OF THE SINS OF OTHERS . They may do so by conniving at them, by not checking or punishing them, by not mourning over them, as well as by actually committing them.
