a. Paul enforces his point by referring to the Passover practice of searching out and destroying all the old leaven before eating the meal (5:7), and how, we who are the new bread, must likewise be rid of the old bread “leavened with malice and wickedness” (5:8) See Exodus 12:14, 15, 19. b. Notice the distinction in the attitudes Paul advised the church to have towards “sinning Christians” and “sinning non-Christians”. What actions are demanded of the local church, and why are such actions necessary?

a. 保罗提到在从前在逾越节吃无酵饼时（5:7）， 都要把旧酵除去，同样的我们这新饼必须除去“邪 恶的酵”（5:8）的例子来支持他的论点。参考出 12:14,15,19。 b. 请注意保罗吩咐教会在面对或处理“犯罪的基 督徒”与“犯罪的非基督徒”的态度与行为有何分 别？为何有如此分别？
