Context — Addressing Sin in the Churchgenerated
1 Corinthians 5:6 addresses the issue of pride within the Corinthian church. Paul emphasizes that their boasting is detrimental and compares it to leaven, which can permeate an entire batch of dough. This metaphor illustrates how a small negative influence can have widespread consequences. Paul urges the church to recognize this danger and to act accordingly, as he elaborates in the surrounding verses.

The Key Word — καύχημα, kauchēmagenerated
The word καύχημα is a neuter noun meaning 'boasting' or 'pride.' It comes from the verb καυχάομαι, which means to boast or to take pride in something. In this context, it refers to the Corinthians' inappropriate pride regarding their situation.
This term is used in both positive and negative contexts, but here it clearly indicates a negative attitude that Paul is warning against. The use of this word highlights the seriousness of their boasting, which is not beneficial to the community.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'Your boasting is not good.' This is consistent with the KJV and ASV, which use 'Your glorying is not good.' All translations convey the idea that the prideful attitude is harmful.
However, where they differ is in the rendering of ζύμη. The BSB and others use 'leaven,' while the NETB opts for 'yeast.' This distinction reflects different approaches to the metaphorical implications of the term.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the finite verb ἔστι, which is implied in the phrase 'Your boasting is not good.' The sentence includes a subordinate clause introduced by ὅτι, explaining why their boasting is problematic.
The structure reveals that the subject is 'your boasting' and the predicate is 'is not good,' followed by an interrogative clause that prompts self-reflection among the readers.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ζύμη appears in the Septuagint, where it typically refers to leaven in the context of offerings and purity laws. It is used to denote something that can corrupt or taint, much like in this New Testament passage.
The connection to the Hebrew word for leaven, which also carries connotations of impurity, reinforces Paul's warning about the dangers of allowing pride to spread within the church.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
1 Corinthians 5:6 warns that boasting is not good and asks if they do not know that a little leaven affects the whole batch of dough. Paul uses this metaphor to show how even a small amount of pride can corrupt the entire community.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Paul uses 'a little leaven' to illustrate how a small negative influence, like pride, can spread and affect the entire community.
Boasting is harmful because it can lead to complacency and moral corruption within the church, affecting everyone involved.
The church can address pride by fostering humility, encouraging accountability, and promoting a culture of honesty and openness.
Leaven often symbolizes corruption or sin in the Bible, indicating that even small amounts can have significant impacts on the whole.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways might pride be affecting my community or relationships?
- How can I actively work to eliminate negative influences in my life?
- What steps can I take to promote humility within my church?
- How does understanding the metaphor of leaven change my perspective on small sins?

Protagoras boasted that he had spent forty years in corrupting of youth. (Plato.) Mark Antony vomited out a book concerning his own ability to eat and drink much. Joannes a Casa, dean of the pope’ s chamber, wrote a poem in commendation of his own beastly sin of sodomy.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) Your glorying is not good.—There is possibly a reference here to some boasting regarding their spiritual state contained in the letter which had reached St. Paul from Corinth, and to which part of this Epistle is a reply. (See 1 Corinthians 7:1.) So long as there is that one bad person amongst you it gives a bad character to the whole community, as leaven, though it may not have pervaded the entire lump, still makes it not the unleavened bread which was necessary for the Paschal Feast. This Epistle being written shortly before Pentecost (1 Corinthians 16:8), it was very likely some time about or soon after Easter, hence the leaven and the Paschal Feast naturally suggest themselves as…

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the BibleVerse 6. Your glorying is not good.] You are triumphing in your superior knowledge, and busily employed in setting up and supporting your respective teachers, while the Church is left under the most scandalous corruptions-corruptions which threaten its very existence if not purged away. Know ye not] With all your boasted wisdom, do you not know and acknowledge the truth of a common maxim, a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? If this leaven-the incestuous person, be permitted to remain among you; if his conduct be not exposed by the most formidable censure; the flood-gates of impurity will be opened on the Church, and the whole state of Christianity ruined in Corinth.

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.

The Greek word καλός (i.e., *kalos*) means beautiful or good, often referring to outward appearance or moral quality. It encompasses a range of meanings from physical beauty to ethical goodness, as seen in various contexts like good deeds or excellent qualities. The New Testament uses it frequently to describe things that are valuable or virtuous, such as in Matthew 13:8 regarding good soil. There is a distinction noted between καλός and another word for good, ἀγαθός, with καλός emphasizing goodness as it appears to others.
καλός, -ή, -όν,
[in LXX chiefly for טוֹב, טוֹבָה, also for יָפֶה, etc.;]
primarily, of outward form ("related to . . . ἀγαθός as the appearance to the essence," Cremer, 339), fair, beautiful: λίθοι (EV, goodly), Lk 21:5.
καλός, -7, -dv, [ prob. primarily ‘ sound,’ ‘ hale,’ ‘ whole ;’ ef. Vaniéek p. 140 sq. ; Curtius § 51], Sept. for 75
καλός. Hort in his note on 1 Pet 212 has pointed out that while ἀγαθός ‘ denotes what is good in virtue of its results,” καλός “denotes that kind of goodness which is at once seen to be good.” It may not be possible always to press the distinction, but what we may call this self-evidencing power of καλός, a goodness as it appears to, and is realized by, others comes out generally speaking in the citations that follow. Thus in its application to persons the adj. is united with πιστός in the well-known early Christian letter of Psenosiris, where Psenosiris writes regarding Politike —t]atitny παραδέδωκα Tots καλοῖς καὶ πιστοῖς ἐξ αὐτῶν τῶν νεκροτάφων (“‘grave-diggers’’) eis τήρησιν (P Grenf II. 731" (late iii/A.D.) (= Selecttons, p. 118) ). And so in the Silco inscr., OGIS 201® (vi/A.D.), the King announces—érlotevoa τὸν ὅρκον αὐτῶν, ὡς καλοί εἰσιν ἄνθρωποι, ‘‘ quia honesti homines sunt”…

good (Tobh, Tubh, yaTabh; agathos, agathon, kalos, kalon): In English "good" is used in various senses, most of which are represented in the Bible.
(1) In the Old Testament the commonest word is Tobh, occurring very frequently and translated in a great variety of ways. Of the different shades of meaning, which frequently run into each other, the following may be distinguished:
(a) Possessing desirable qualities, beneficial, agreeable, e.g. "good for food" (Ge 2:9); "We will do thee good" (Nu 10:29); Who will show us any good?" (Ps 4:6); "good tidings of good" (Isa 52:7).

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

καύχημα is a neuter noun derived from καυχάομαι, meaning a boast or subject of boasting. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as Romans 4:2 and 1 Corinthians 5:6, where it refers to matters of glorying or pride. The lexicons note some debate on its usage compared to related terms like καύχησις, particularly in the context of glorying.
καύχημα, -Tos, τό, (καυχάομαι), very rare in prof. auth.; Sept. for mbmN praise, and ΠΝ ΘΓ ornament, beanies several times in Sir. 1. that of which one Bree or can glory, matter or ground of glorying: Ro. iv. 2; 1 Co. ix. 15 sq.; 2 Co. i. 14; Phil. ii. 16; τὸ καύχημα ἔχειν εἰς his glorying confined to himself [R. V. in regard of himself alone], Gal. vi. 4; τὸ x. τῆς ἐλπίδος, the matter for glorying which hope gives, i. e. the hope, of which we glory, Heb. iii. 6. 2. As γέννημα, δίωγμα, θέλημα, ἴαμα, κήρυγμα (2 Tim. iv. 17), κλαῦμα, πλήρωμα, φρόνημα, ete., are used for γέννησις, δίωξις, θέλησις, κτλ. [ef. Ellicott on Phil. iv. 6], so also (which H. A. W. Meyer persists in denying [as respects the New Testament (see his note on Ro. iv. 2); so Ellicott and Bp. Lghtft. on Gal. vi. 4; Liinem. on Heb. u. s.]) is καύχημα used for καύχησις (Pind.

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.
οὐ, before a vowel with smooth breathing οὐκ, before one with rough breathing οὐχ (but improperly οὐχ ἰδού, Ac 2:7, WH, mg.; cf. WH, Intr., § 409; M, Pr., 44, 244),

absol. (accented), οὔ, no: Mt 13:29, Jo 1:21 21:5; οὒ οὔ, Mt 5:37, Ja 5:12.
οὐ before a consonant, οὐκ before a vowel with a smooth breathing, and ody before an aspirated vowel ; but sometimes in the best codd. οὐχ occurs even before a smooth breathing; accordingly LT WH mrg. have adopted οὐχ ἰδού, Acts ii. 7; LT οὐχ ᾿Ιουδαϊκῶς, Gal. ii. 14 (see WH.

The Greek word ὅτι (hoti) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that' or 'because.' It introduces objective clauses, often following verbs of perception or declaration, and can also serve as a causal particle. The New Testament frequently employs it in this way, such as in Matthew 5:4-12. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its usage, particularly regarding its pleonastic function in direct discourse.

The Greek word μικρός (mikros) means small or little, covering aspects of size, quantity, and even rank or influence. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, such as referring to stature in Mark 15:40 and to quantity in Luke 12:32. The word can also describe time, as in John 7:33, indicating a brief duration.

The Greek word ζύμη (zume) means 'leaven' or 'yeast' and is used both literally and metaphorically in the New Testament. It can refer to the fermentation process in bread-making or symbolize moral corruption and falsehood, particularly in teachings that can spread like leaven. The New Testament uses it in contexts such as the teachings of the Pharisees and the influence of sin within a community.

lev'-n (se'or, chamets; zume; Latin fermentum): The nomadic ancestors of the Hebrews, like the Bedouin of today, probably made their bread without leaven; but leaven came to play a great part in their bread-making, their law and ritual, and their religious teaching (see Ex 12:15,19; 13:7; Le 2:11; De 16:4; Mt 13:33; 16:6-12; Mr 8:15 f; Lu 12:1; 13:21).

The form of leaven used in bread-making and the method of using it were simple and definite. The "leaven" consisted always, so far as the evidence goes, of a piece of fermented dough kept over from a…
Leaven
(1.) Heb. seor (Ex. 12:15, 19; 13:7; Lev. 2:11), the remnant of dough from the preceding baking which had fermented and become acid.
(2.) Heb. hamets, properly “ferment.” In Num. 6:3, “vinegar of wine” is more correctly “fermented wine.” In Ex. 13:7, the proper rendering would be, “Unfermented things [Heb. matstsoth] shall be consumed during the seven days; and there shall not be seen with thee fermented things [hamets], and there shall not be seen with thee leavened mass [seor] in all thy borders.” The chemical definition of ferment or yeast is “a substance in a state of putrefaction, the atoms of which are in a continual motion.”
Various substances were known to have fermenting qualities; but the ordinary leaven consisted of a lump of old dough in a high state of fermentation, which was mixed into the mass of dough prepared for baking. The use of leaven was strictly forbidden in all offerings made to the Lord by fire. During the passover the Jews were commanded to put every particle of leaven from the house. The most prominent idea associated with leaven in connection with the corruption which it had undergone,a nd which it communicated to bread in the process of fermentation. It is to this property of leaven that our Saviour points when he speaks of the "leaven (i.e. the corrupt doctrine) of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees," (Matthew 16:6) and St. Paul, when he speaks of the "old leaven." (1 Corinthians…
Sourdough which is kept over from one baking to another, in order to raise the new dough. Leaven was forbidden in the Hebrews during the seven days of the Passover, in memory of what their ancestors did when they went out of Egypt, they being then obliged to carry unleavened meal with them, and to make bread in haste, the Egyptians pressing them to be gone, Ex 12:15,19. They were very careful in cleansing their houses from it before this feast began, 1Co 5:6. God forbade either leaven or honey to be offered to him in his temple, Le 2:11.

The Greek word ὅλος (i.e., *holos*) means 'whole' or 'entire,' and it can refer to both persons and things. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, such as in Luke 5:5 and Acts 11:26, to denote completeness or totality. The lexicons indicate that it can function as an adjective, noun, or adverb, and it often appears with or without an article before a noun.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word φύραμα (phurama) means a mixture or lump, particularly of dough or clay. It is derived from the verb φυράω meaning 'to mix.' The New Testament references include Romans 11:16, 1 Corinthians 5:6-7, and Galatians 5:9, where it is used metaphorically to describe a mixed substance.
φύραμα, -ros, τό, (φυράω to mix), any substance mixed with water and kneaded ; a mass, lump: of dough (Num. xv. 20 sq.; [plur., Ex. viii. 3; xii. 34]; Aristot. probl. 21, 18 p. 929", 25; Plut. quaest. conv. 6, 7, 2, 15 p. 698 e.), 1 Co. v. 6sq.; Gal. v. 9, (on the meaning of which pass. see ζύμη) ; Ro. xi. 16; of clay (Plut. praec. ger. reip. 15, 4p. 811c.), Ro. ix. 21 [cf.
