Galatians 5:9
This proverb Paul has in I Corinthians 5:6. It is merely the pervasive power of leaven that is involved in the proverb as in Matthew 13:33, not the use of leaven as a symbol of evil.
Love Fulfills the Law
7 You aran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?
8 This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.
9 aA little leaven leavens the whole lump.
10 I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment, whoever he is.
11 And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, awhy do I still suffer persecution? Then bthe offense of the cross has ceased.
12 aI could wish that those bwho trouble you would even cut themselves off!
