Context of 1 Corinthians 5:8
6Your boasting is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7Therefore purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9I wrote to you in my epistle not to associate with immoral people: 10Yet not altogether with immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then ye must needs go out of the world.

Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 5:8
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 8Therefore let us keep the feast - It is very likely that the time of the passover was now approaching, when the Church of Christ would be called to extraordinary acts of devotion, in commemorating the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ; and of this circumstance the apostle takes advantage in his exhortation to the Corinthians.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 7-8Paul compares the Jewish Passover celebration to Christ's sacrifice.

Christ's sacrifice, which happened at Passover (Matthew 26:2; compare John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19), removes sin for believers.Read the comment
