You must take out. The church as a group must act to remove this source of "bad example." A new batch of dough. Paul uses the "unleavened bread" of Passover as a symbol of purity. During Passover week, Jews got rid of every trace of yeast from their houses, so that the Passover bread would be completely without leaven. Our Passover lamb. The Jewish day began at 6 P.M. (see note on Acts 20:7). In Jewish practice, all the yeast would have been carefully removed before the Passover lamb was killed. Paul is saying: "Our Passover lamb is already killed, but you have not removed the leaven (yeast) of sin from your lives. This is a contradiction!" Three symbolic realities were in each Passover: (1) the blood of the lamb (compare Matthew 26:28); (2) the flesh of the lamb (compare Hebrews 10:20); (3) the continued feast, an act of fellowship (compare 1 Corinthians 10:16-22).
