The present middle infinitive occurs in prohibitions. In 1 Corinthians 5:9 the APB renders the instruction "not to associate with sexually immoral people"; in 1 Corinthians 5:11 it extends the prohibition to one called a brother who is described by listed conduct, and in 2 Thessalonians 3:14 it concerns a person who does not obey the letter's word.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all three verses, the APB presents the clause with "not to associate with" or "do not associate with." This identifies the clause's presentation rather than a precise English equivalent for the form alone.
