1 Corinthians 5:6
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
5:6. There was, of course, no excuse for the Corinthians’ pathetic behavior. Paul reminded them of a truth they already knew but were failing to practice—a little yeast soon permeates the whole batch of dough. A small sickness can eventually kill a body. The need for church discipline is based on the same principle.
