In the context of 1 Corinthians, Paul is addressing the Corinthian church's need to remove sin and immorality from their midst. The "old yeast" symbolizes sin and corruption, drawing from the Jewish practice of removing leaven from their homes during Passover. Historically, leaven was seen as a symbol of decay and impurity. Paul is urging the church to cleanse itself of moral decay to maintain purity and holiness.so that you may be a new unleavened batch The term "new" in Greek is "νέος" (neos), indicating something fresh and unused. "Unleavened" refers to bread made without yeast, symbolizing purity and sincerity. In the Jewish tradition, unleavened bread was eaten during Passover to commemorate the Israelites' hasty departure from Egypt, where there was no time for the bread to rise. Paul is encouraging the Corinthians to embody this purity and sincerity in their spiritual lives, becoming a "new batch" free from the corruption of sin.as you really are This phrase emphasizes the true identity of the believers in Christ. Paul is reminding the Corinthians of their position in Christ, who has made them new creations. The Greek word "ἐστέ" (este) is a form of "to be," indicating a state of existence. Paul is affirming that, in Christ, they are already unleavened, pure, and holy. This is a call to live out their true identity, reflecting the transformation that has already occurred through their faith in Jesus.For Christ, our Passover lamb The term "Passover lamb" directly connects to the Jewish Passover, where a lamb was sacrificed, and its blood was used to protect the Israelites from the angel of death. In Greek, "πάσχα" (pascha) refers to the Passover, and "ἀμνός" (amnos) means lamb. Paul is drawing a parallel between the sacrificial lamb of Passover and Christ's sacrifice on the cross. This highlights the fulfillment of the Old Testament type in the person of Jesus, who is the ultimate sacrifice for sin, providing protection and deliverance for believers.has been sacrificed The Greek word "ἐτύθη" (etuthē) is a form of "θύω" (thyo), meaning to sacrifice or slaughter. This verb is in the perfect tense, indicating a completed action with ongoing effects. Christ's sacrifice is a finished work, yet its implications continue to impact believers' lives. Historically, sacrifices were central to Jewish worship, symbolizing atonement and reconciliation with God. Paul is emphasizing that Christ's sacrifice is sufficient and complete, providing the basis for the believers' new identity and calling them to live in the reality of this transformative truth.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_corinthians/5.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(7) Purge out therefore the old leaven.--It is not the offending man who is here spoken of, but it is the spirit in the Church which tolerated the evil, and which is to be purged out of their midst that they may become actually (a new lump) as they are by profession (unleavened).Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.--Better, Christ our passover is slain; "for us" is not in the best MSS.

The word "therefore" is absent from the best manuscripts, and the abruptness is more emphatic without it. No doubt the metaphor was suggested by the fact that St. Paul was writing about the time of the Passover (<a href="/acts/16-8.htm">Acts 16:8</a>). The most essential requisite of the Jewish regulations, with which his whole training had made him so familiar, was the absolute putting away, and even destruction, of every trace of leaven, which was diligently sought for the day before the Passover began. The putting away of leaven was a type of sanctification. The old leaven. "Old" as belonging to their unregenerate and unconverted condition; a remnant of the day when they had been Gentiles and Jews who had not known Christ. The least willing tolerance of the taint would cause it to work throughout the whole society. As ye are unleavened. Leaven is the type of evil in its secret and corrupting workings. Ideally, Christians can only be addressed as "unleavened," i.e. as "purged from their own old sins" (<a href="/2_peter/1-9.htm">2 Peter 1:9</a>); and it is the method of Scripture (indeed, it is the only possible method) to address Christians as being Christians indeed, and therefore in their ideal rather than their actual character. Some have taken these words to mean, "You are actually keeping the Passover, and therefore have no leaven among you;" but (1) the words cannot bear this meaning; nor (2) was St. Paul likely to appeal so prominently to a Jewish ordinance; and (3) he is thinking of the Christian Easter, and only borrowing a casual illustration from the Jewish Passover. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; rather, in the true reading, for our passover also was sacrificed - even Christ. As Christians, the Gentile Corinthians certainly did not keep the Jewish Passover; but St. Paul reminds them that they too had a Passover - that for them, too a Paschal Victim had been offered, whose sacrificial blood had been shed for their redemption (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>; <a href="/john/19-36.htm">John 19:36</a>; <a href="/1_peter/1-19.htm">1 Peter 1:19</a>).
