Commentaries and Concordances

PNT:

5:11 Now I have written unto you not to keep company. He now writes and explains his meaning. Church members must not have social intercourse with one who has been a member who is guilty of the grievous sins named.
Covetous. A greedy person, under the influence of passions, not only greedy for gain, but for self-indulgence. The Greek word pleonektes implies this.
With such person no not to eat. Either at the Lord's table, or in friendly meals, which would imply a brotherly recognition.

WES:

5:11 Who is named a brother - That is, a Christian; especially if a member of the same congregation. Rapacious - Guilty of oppression, extortion, or any open injustice. No, not to eat with him - Which is the lowest degree of familiarity.

MHC:

5:9-13 Christians are to avoid familiar converse with all who disgrace the Christian name. Such are only fit companions for their brethren in sin, and to such company they should be left, whenever it is possible to do so. Alas, that there are many called Christians, whose conversation is more dangerous than that of heathens!
