1 Corint. 5

"Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." v. 6-8

Note: leaven in scripture usually represents evil influence, as it does here.

Sincerity: honesty of mind : freedom from hypocrisy.
Truth: sincerity in action, character, and utterance. Wow!

Only with Christ could we live such a tall order. What can I change in my life, or what do I see that I might not be living with sincerity in action, character and utterance?
