1 Corinthians 5:7
Purge out therefore the old leaven. Let the leaven of impurity be
removed, by putting out the fornicator, that the church may be pure
from the impure leaven, or influence. So, too, each one must cleanse
his own heart.
For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us. At the passover,
Jews were required to put all leaven from their houses (Exodus 12:15).
As we have a Paschal Lamb, slain for us, the church should cleanse out
the leaven of sin.
