Isn't it interesting that a healthy person can catch a sickness from a sick person, just by being near a sick person, but a sick person does not catch health from a healthy person, just by being near him?
We see a similar reality in the spiritual realm. Spiritually viable people are more easily corrupted by bad company than spiritually corrupt people are influenced by Christian company, 1 Corinthians 15:33.

2 CORINTHIANS 6:14-18
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
