1 Corinthians 5

Paul addresses a case of incest in the Corinthian church—a man living with his father's wife—and rebukes the church for their pride rather than sorrow over this immorality.[1] He instructs them to expel the man from the church so that through affliction his flesh may be destroyed and his spirit saved, using the metaphor of leaven to illustrate how a little sin corrupts the whole community.[1][2]
