Immoral Behavior And Church Discipline

⁷ Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch. You are indeed unleavened, for Christ our Passover has been sacrificed. ⁸ Therefore, let us observe the feast, not with old yeast or with the yeast of malice and evil but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. ⁹ I wrote to you in a letter not to associate with sexually immoral people.
