1 Corinthians 5:6

Read in context

1 Corinthians 5:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,

5 hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the Lord.

6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven works through the whole batch of dough?

7 Get rid of the old leaven, that you may be a new unleavened batch, as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with the old bread, leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and of truth.
