Acts 10:15

13 And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”

14 But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! ^aFor I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”

15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, ^a“What God has cleansed you must not call common.”

16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.

Summoned to Caesarea

17 Now while Peter¹ wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate.

Make not thou common (su mh koinou). Note emphatic position of su (thou). Do thou stop making common what God cleansed (ekaqarisen). The idiom of mh with the present active imperative koinou means precisely this. Peter had just called "common" what God had invited him to slay and eat.
