KEEP OLD LEAVEN OUT OF YOUR NEW LIFE
I Corinthians 5: 6-8
:6 Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little
leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump?
:7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a
new lump, as you are unleavened. For Christ our passover
is sacrificed for us;
: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.
