You know the saying, “A little bit of yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise.” ^7 (B)You must remove the old yeast of sin so that you will be entirely pure.

For our Passover Festival is ready, now that Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. ^8 (C)Let us celebrate our Passover, then, not with bread having the old yeast of sin and wickedness, but with the bread that has no yeast, the bread of purity and truth.
