How we are to behave around those who will not be admonished is spoken of in terms of keeping company. It is not that we choose not to associate with them, but that they refuse to participate in the Christian Way. To walk with them on their path means we are not waling on His path – 1 John 1

15. Personal Discipline

2Pe 1:5 ¶ But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,

16. Personal Discipline
Prepared to give and receive discipline: Matthew 7:1-5 Matthew 19:20-22
Mt 19:20 The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?" 21 Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Heb 12:1 ¶ Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
