#ScriptureReflection - 1 Corinthians 5:6-13* (2.10.22)

 ⁶  Your boasting is not appropriate. Do you not know that a little yeast leavens all the dough? ⁷  Clear out the old yeast, so that you may become a fresh batch of dough, inasmuch as you are unleavened. For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed. ⁸ 

Therefore, let us celebrate the feast, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

⁹  I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people, ¹⁰  not at all referring to the immoral of this world or the greedy and robbers or idolaters; for you would then have to leave the world.

¹¹  But I now write to you not to associate with anyone named a brother, if he is immoral, greedy, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunkard, or a robber, not even to eat with such a person. ¹²  For why should I be judging outsiders? Is it not your business to judge those within? ¹³  God will judge those outside. “Purge the evil person from your midst.”
