This is also an exhortation to believers in general, to forsake their company, companion, and conversation with the men of the world and be separated, says the Lord.
There is a call to be set apart for God’s work. The people of God are a separate people in election, redemption, and the effectual calling, and ought to be so in their conduct and conversation; they ought to separate themselves from all superstition and will worship in religious matters, and from the evil customs and manners of the world.
