1 Corinthians 5:6
1 Corinthians 5:6 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?
1 Corinthians 5:6 American Standard Version (ASV)
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1 Corinthians 5:6 New International Version (NIV)
Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?
1 Corinthians 5:6 New Living Translation (NLT)
Your boasting about this is terrible. Don’t you realize that this sin is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough?
1 Corinthians 5:6-8 The Message (MSG)
Your flip and callous arrogance in these things bothers me. You pass it off as a small thing, but it’s anything but that. Yeast, too, is a “small thing,” but it works its way through a whole batch of bread dough pretty fast. So get rid of this “yeast.” Our true identity is flat and plain, not puffed up with the wrong kind of ingredient. The Messiah, our Passover Lamb, has already been sacrificed for the Passover meal, and we are the Unraised Bread part of the Feast. So let’s live out our part in the Feast, not as raised bread swollen with the yeast of evil, but as flat bread—simple, genuine, unpretentious.
1 Corinthians 5:6 King James Version (KJV)
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1 Corinthians 5:6 New Century Version (NCV)
Your bragging is not good. You know the saying, “Just a little yeast makes the whole batch of dough rise.”
1 Corinthians 5:6 New King James Version (NKJV)
Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
1 Corinthians 5:6 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Your boasting [over the supposed spirituality of your church] is not good [indeed, it is vulgar and inappropriate]. Do you not know that [just] a little leaven ferments the whole batch [of dough, just as a little sin corrupts a person or an entire church]?
