Here's the message that Bill Shea intended to send. It was formatted in HTML

Subject: Eph 5:11 translating suykoineo

Eph. 5:11 καὶ μὴ συγκοινωνεῖτε τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς ἀκάρποις τοῦ σκότους, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐλέγχετε.
[KAI MH SUGKOINWNEITE TOIS ERGOIS TOIS AKARPOIS TOU SKOTOUS, MALLON DE KAI ELEGCETE. ]

I haven't used my greek in years and I'm having trouble translating the word συγκοινέω 
[SUGKOINEW] in Eph 5:11. Is is correct to translate this verse ". . . stop participating . . ." 
or just " . . . do not participate . . .? How can I tell the difference?
