1 Corinthians 5:5-7
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
5 You are to deliver this man over to Satan [a]for physical discipline [to destroy carnal lusts which prompted him to incest], that [his] spirit may [yet] be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6 [About the condition of your church] your boasting is not good [indeed, it is most unseemly and entirely out of place]. Do you not know that [just] a little leaven will ferment the whole lump [of dough]?
7 Purge (clean out) the old leaven that you may be fresh (new) dough, still uncontaminated [as you are], for Christ, our Passover [Lamb], has been sacrificed.

6 (C)Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that (D)a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore [b]purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed (E)Christ, our (F)Passover, was sacrificed [c]for us.
