Therefore put away from yourselves the evil person. Your glory is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 1 Corinthians 5

“Therefore, purge out the old leaven, so that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed, Christ the Passover was sacrificed for us, therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Therefore, put away from yourselves the evil person, and be renewed with the mind of Christ.” Lord, show us how to lay aside all past hurts, all envy, malice, jealousy, pride and the evil way which corrupts us, and draw us further away from you, and instead be purged of the old leaven and become a new lump, filled with the goodness of God. Praise the Lord!
