1 Corinthians 5:6 in Context — 1 Corinthians 5

4 En el nombre del Señor nuestro Jesucristo, juntados vosotros y mi espíritu, con la facultad de nuestro Señor Jesucristo,

5 El tal sea entregado á Satanás para muerte de la carne, porque el espíritu sea salvo en el día del Señor Jesús.

6 No es buena vuestra jactancia. ¿No sabéis que un poco de levadura leuda toda la masa?

7 Limpiad pues la vieja levadura, para que seáis nueva masa, como sois sin levadura: porque nuestra pascua, [que es] Cristo, fué sacrificada por nosotros.

8 Así que hagamos fiesta, no en la vieja levadura, ni en la levadura de malicia y de maldad, sino en ázimos de sinceridad y de verdad.
