1 Corinthians 5:6-7

Expanded Bible

⁶ Your ·bragging [boasting] is not good. You know the saying, “Just a little ·yeast [or leaven; ^Cleaven is a small lump of fermented dough used to make a loaf rise, as yeast is today] makes the whole batch of dough rise [^Cyeast/leaven symbolizes the permeating influence of this man’s sin within the community; Gal. 5:9].” ⁷ ·Take out all [Cleanse; Purge] the old ·yeast [leaven] so that you will be a new batch of dough without ·yeast [leaven], which you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed [^CChrist’s sacrificial death rescued us from spiritual death, just as the blood of the first Passover lambs rescued the children of Israel; Ex. 11—12].
