1 Corinthians 5:7-9

Contemporary English Version

^7 (A) Get rid of the old yeast! Then you will be like fresh bread made without yeast, and this is what you are. Our Passover lamb is Christ, who has already been sacrificed. ^8 (B) So don't celebrate the festival by being evil and sinful, which is like serving bread made with yeast. Be pure and truthful and celebrate by using bread made without yeast.

⁹ In my other letter^[a] I told you not to have anything to do with immoral people.
