Leaven (yeast) » Figurative » Of other evils
A little leaven, leaveneth, the whole lump.
Unseemly, is your boast! Know ye not that, a little leaven, doth leaven, the whole of the lump? Purge ye out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, - even as ye are unleavened; for, our passover, hath even been sacrificed - Christ: So then, let us be keeping the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of baseness and wickedness, - but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
