Exegesis
The subject homilai kakai {ὁμιλίαι κακαί | homilíai kakaí} ‘bad associations’ appears after the verb, following common Greek word order that places the action before the agent. The structure thus forms a two-part statement: an imperative clause warning against self-deception, followed by an indicative clause expressing how corrupting influences damage moral life. The English versions preserve this sequence by first presenting the command and then the resulting maxim.
