HOW DO YOU APPLY THIS SCRIPTURE IN YOUR DAILY LIFE?? (give examples of what you have "separated" from)

Stmatt- I think one must be able to lay this Scripture alongside the 5th chapter of 1 Corinthians where Paul says he doesn't expect us not to keep company with nonbelievers [but rather separated from sin].

"9 I wrote you an epistle not to keep company with fornicators; 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of the world, or with the covetous, or the extorioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out into the world.

11 But I have written unto you not to keep comapany, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or and idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such one is not to eat (1 Cor 5:9-11).

Btw- God's Word is amazing. I just saw with brand new eyes; the preceeding verses at the beginning of the chapter. It was just what I needed to see. Thanks for posting.
