Context — Imitators of God

5For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person (that is, an idolater) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience.

7Therefore do not be partakers with them.

8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, 9for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.

Ephesians 5:7 Summary

[This verse is a warning to believers to not participate in the sinful behaviors of those who are disobedient to God, as seen in Ephesians 5:6. It means we should not join in or be a part of the things that are contrary to God's will, such as immorality, impurity, or greed, as listed in Ephesians 5:5. Instead, we are called to walk in the light of the Lord, as encouraged in Ephesians 5:8, and to live a life that is pleasing to Him, as seen in Colossians 1:10. By doing so, we can avoid facing the wrath of God and live a life that is filled with goodness, righteousness, and truth, as seen in Ephesians 5:9.]

7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. Ver. 7. Be not ye therefore partakers] Lest by infection of their sin ye come under infliction of their punishment. We are accountable as well for sins of communion as of commission; and he knew what he said, that prayed, From mine other men’ s sins, good Lord, deliver me.

(3b) Ephesians 5:3-14 warn, with even greater fulness and emphasis, against the sins of impurity and lust, as incompatible with membership of the kingdom of heaven, as works of darkness, impossible to those who are children of light.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ephesians 5:7

Verse 7. Be not ye therefore partakers with them] Do not act as your fellow citizens do; nor suffer their philosophy, to it in vain words, κενοιςλογοις, with empty and illusive doctrines, to lead you astray from the path of truth. That there was much need for such directions and cautions to the people of Ephesus has been often remarked. It appears, from Athenaeus, that these people were addicted to luxury, effeminacy c. He tells us that the famous Aspasia, who was herself of the Socratic sect, brought a vast number of beautiful women into Greece, and by their means filled the country with prostitutes, καιεπληθυνεναποτωνταυτηςἑταιριδωνἡΕλλας, lib. xiii. cap. 25. Ibid. cap. 31, he observes that the Ephesians had dedicated temples εταιρααφροδιτη, to the prostitute Venus and again, cap. 32, he quotes from Demosthenes, in Orat. contra Neaeram: ταςμενἑταιραςἡδονηςἑνεκαεχομεν, ταςδεπαλλακαςτηςκαθ' ἡμερανπαλλακειας, ταςδεγυναικαςτουπαιδοποιεισθαιγνησιως, καιτωνενδονφυλακαπιστηνεχειν· "We have whores for our pleasure, harlots for daily use, and wives for the procreation of legitimate children, and for the faithful preservation of our property." Through the whole of this 13th book of Athenaeus the reader will see the most melancholy proofs of the most abominable practices among the Greeks, and the high estimation in which public prostitutes were held; the greatest lawgivers and the wisest philosophers among the Greeks supported this system both by their authority and example. Is it not in reference to their teaching and laws that the apostle says: Let no man deceive you with vain words?
