This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Partaketh in his evil works (koinōnei tois ergois autou tois ponērois). Associative instrumental case with koinōnei as in 1Ti 5:22, common verb from koinōnos (partner). It is to be borne in mind that the churches often met in private homes (Rom 16:5; Col 4:15), and if these travelling deceivers were allowed to spread their doctrines in these homes and then sent on with endorsement as Apollos was from Ephesus to Corinth (Act 18:27), there was no way of escaping responsibility for the harm wrought by these propagandists of evil. It is not a case of mere hospitality to strangers.
