"It is likeleaven,whicha womantookand hidin threepecksof flouruntilit was allleavened."
Do you not knowthat whenyou presentyourselvesto someone[as] slavesfor obedience,you are slavesof the one whomyou obey,eitherof sinresultingin death,orof obedienceresultingin righteousness?
Do not be deceived:"Badcompanycorruptsgoodmorals."
So thenlet no oneboastin men.For all thingsbelongto you,
You have become arrogantand have not mournedinstead,sothat the one who had donethisdeedwould be removedfrom your midst.
A littleleavenleavensthe wholelump[of dough].
and their talkwill spreadlikegangrene.Among them are Hymenaeusand Philetus,
But as it is, you boastin your arrogance;allsuchboastingis evil.
