5:6-7 Yeast was often a symbol of sin (cp. Matt 16:6, 12; Mark 8:15; Luke 12:1; Gal 5:9). Jews ceremonially cleansed their homes of yeast before the annual Passover meal (Exod 12:19; 13:7). • Get rid of . . . this wicked person: Sin, if unaddressed, could spread throughout the church, just as yeast spreads throughout a batch of dough.
