5:8 What feast is Paul referring to here?
Paul is speaking here metaphorically of the Christian walk. Our Christian walk cannot be tainted with sin. Since Christ our Passover Lamb was sacrificed for sin the Christian walk must be one of sincerity and truth (CP V1-8).
Paul used the permeating influence of leaven here in a spiritual sense to describe the manner in which sin defiles that with which it comes into contact (See also comments on 1Cor 5:6-7).
