1 sn In this passage (5:6-8) yeast represents the presence of evil within the church, specifically the immoral person described in 5:1-5 and mentioned again in 5:13.
2 tn Grk “a little yeast leavens.”
3 tn Grk “to decide between his brother (and his opponent),” but see the note on the word “Christian” in 5:11.
4 sn All things are lawful for me. In the expressions in vv. 12-13 within quotation marks, Paul cites certain slogans the Corinthians apparently used to justify their behavior. Paul agrees with the slogans in part, but corrects them to show how the Corinthians have misused these ideas.
5 tn Grk “than to burn,” a figure of speech referring to unfulfilled sexual passion.
6 tn Grk “the seal.”
7 sn A quotation from Deut 25:4.
8 tn The Greek term translated “adult” here is ἀνήρ (anhr), a term which ordinarily refers to males, husbands, etc. In this context Paul contrasts the states of childhood and adulthood, so the term has been translated “adult”; cf. BDAG 79 s.v. 1.b.
