哥林多前書 5:8 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:7-8

"Christ our Passover." At no point is the relation between Christianity and the old economy of the Law more profoundly interesting and significant than at that which is indicated in this passage. Of the Passover it is emphatically true that it was as a "shadow," of which the substance, the body, is in Christ. The memorial of that grand Divine interposition by which the Hebrews passed out of their primitive state of miserable subjection to a foreign power into that of a free and independent... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:7-8

The Passover and the Lord's Supper. The Lord's Supper is not the Passover; but the one sprang from the other, and is to Christians what the other was to Hebrews, the memorial of redemption. I. THE MEANING OF THESE ORDINANCES . In the Passover were two parts, closely connected and yet distinct. 1. The sacrifice of an unspotted lamb. 2. The feast on the sacrifice kept by each household. Under the established ritual in Israel, the former was rendered at the sanctuary.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:7-8

Keeping the Christian feast of the unleavened. Give, in introduction, a careful description of the old Passover. Observe especially that Then show how this old Passover may be regarded as realized in the Christian feast. 1. Jesus is the slain Lamb. 2. His blood is the Church's protection and sign. 3. His truth and love—that is, he himself—is the Church's food. 4. The spirit in which we share our Divine food is that of sincerity and truth, which is represented by the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:8

Therefore let us keep the feast. Let us keep the Christian feast of Christ's resurrection in that spirit of holiness—of purging away sin from the midst of us—which was symbolized by the Jewish removal of leaven. Not with old leaven . For now ye are "in Christ," and, therefore, are a "new creation." Leaven is the type of hypocrisy ( Luke 12:1 ) in its secret workings, but more generally it is a type of every corrupting influence. Of sincerity and truth. "All that corresponds to an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:8

The Christian festival. The apostle seems to represent the whole of the Christian life as one long Passover festival and solemnity, and to invite his readers to unite with him in an appropriate and perpetual observance. I. THIS FESTIVAL IS BASED UPON THE SACRIFICE AND REDEMPTION OF CHRIST JESUS . As the events connected with Israel's emancipation from Egypt constituted the foundation of the national and religious life of the Hebrews, so we Christians date our... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 5:8

Let us keep the feast - Margin, “Holy day” ἑορτάζωμεν heortazōmen. This is language drawn from the paschal feast, and is used by Paul frequently to carry out and apply his illustration. It does not mean literally the paschal supper here - for that had ceased to be observed by Christians - nor the Lord’s Supper particularly; but the sense is “As the Jews when they celebrated the paschal supper, on the slaying and sacrifice of the paschal lamb, put away all leaven - as emblematic of sin - so... read more

1 Corinthians 5:6-8. Your glorying Of the flourishing state of your church, or of your gifts, at such a time as this; is not good Is very unseasonable, your church being defiled by tolerating such vices, and thereby exposed to God’s judgments, and also in danger of infection from such an example. Know ye not Who boast so much of your knowledge; that a little leaven One sin or one sinner; leaveneth the whole lump Diffuses guilt and infection perhaps through a whole religious society... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 5:1-13

5:1-6:20 MORAL FAULTS IN THE CHURCHAdulterous living (5:1-13)Paul now turns to the second difficulty that had been reported. In this case the sin was one that would hardly be found even among the pagan Greeks. A man was living in adultery with his father’s wife, probably a minor wife or the wife of a remarriage. Yet the Christians did nothing about the shameful situation. They thought they were so advanced in their Christian experience that there was no need to restrict the freedom of the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 5:8

Wherefore 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.Keep the feast ... It seems incredible to this student that anyone would apply this to keeping the Jewish Passover. "We are obliged to keep the feast, the feast of unleavened bread."[15] This whole paragraph is absolutely metaphorical; for, when Paul commanded the Corinthians to "purge out thy old leaven," he referred to purging out sin.... read more
