Leaven

Not the sinful man, but evil of every kind, in accordance with the more general statement of the leavening, power of evil in 1Co 5:6. The apostle's metaphor is shaped by the commands concerning the removal of leaven at the passover: Exo 12:19; Exo 13:7. Compare Ignatius; “Dispense, therefore, with the evil leaven that has grown old (παλαιωθεῖσαν) and that has gone sour (ἐνοξίσασαν), and be changed into new leaven which is Jesus Christ” (Epistle to Magnesians, 10).

New (νέον)

See on Mat 26:29.

Passover (τὸ πάσχα)

The Paschal lamb, as Mar 14:12; Luk 22:7.
