A moment in scripture
1 Corinthians 5:8
"
Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
"
The surrounding passage
- 1 Corinthians 5:6
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
- 1 Corinthians 5:7
Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
- 1 Corinthians 5:9
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
- 1 Corinthians 5:10
Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
