¹⁷ and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: --

¹ Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings,

⁷ cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed -- Christ,

⁸ so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of sincerity and truth.

³ for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings,

²⁰ and they having heard, were glorifying the Lord. They said also to him, `Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law,

¹⁷ and having come down with them, he stood upon a level spot, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses,

¹⁵ and he was charging them, saying, `Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,'

¹⁶ and they were reasoning with one another, saying -- `Because we have no loaves.'

¹⁷ And Jesus having known, saith to them, `Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?
