5 : 4 When you are assembledin the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus,
5 : 5 you areto deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, sothat his spirit may be savedin the day of the Lord.
5 : 6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know thata little leaven leavens the whole lump?
5 : 7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.
