1 Corinthiërs 5:8

Listen to 1 Corinthiërs 5:8
8 Zo dan laat ons feest houden, niet in den ouden zuurdesem, noch in den zuurdesem der kwaadheid en der boosheid, maar in de ongezuurde broden der oprechtheid en der waarheid.

1 Corinthiërs 5:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 5:8

Therefore let us keep the feast
Not the feast of the passover, which was now ceased, though this is said in allusion to it; when the master of the house used to say F12,

``everyone that is hungry, let him come and eat; he that hath need, let him come (xopyw) , "and paschatize", or keep the feast of the passover:''

but rather the feast of the Lord's supper is here meant, that feast of fat things Isaiah prophesied of; in which are the richest entertainments, even the flesh and blood of Christ; though it seems best to understand it of the whole course of a Christian's life, spent in the exercise of spiritual joy and faith in Christ; he that is of a merry heart, as the believer of all men in the world has reason to be of, "hath a continual feast", ( Proverbs 15:15 ) of spiritual mirth and pleasure, rejoicing always in Christ, as he ought to do: which feast, or course of life, is to be kept "not with old leaven"; in the old, vain, sinful manner of conversation, as before:

neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
not in malice to any man, or one another, nor in any sort of wickedness, living in no known sin, and allowing of it:

but with the unleavened bread of sincerity;
as opposed to malice, of sincere love to God and Christ, and to his people: and of truth; of Gospel doctrine, discipline, and conversation.

1 Corinthiërs 5:8 In-Context

6 Uw roem is niet goed. Weet gij niet, dat een weinig zuurdesem het gehele deeg zuur maakt?
7 Zuivert dan den ouden zuurdesem uit, opdat gij een nieuw deeg zijn moogt, gelijk gij ongezuurd zijt. Want ook ons Pascha is voor ons geslacht, namelijk Christus.
8 Zo dan laat ons feest houden, niet in den ouden zuurdesem, noch in den zuurdesem der kwaadheid en der boosheid, maar in de ongezuurde broden der oprechtheid en der waarheid.
9 Ik heb u geschreven in den brief, dat gij u niet zoudt vermengen met de hoereerders;
10 Doch niet geheellijk met de hoereerders dezer wereld, of met de gierigaards, of met de rovers, of met de afgodendienaars; want anders zoudt gij moeten uit de wereld gaan.
