Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough? Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump. I Corinthians 5:6-7
Good and bad leaven can both work the same. They take over the whole lump for better or worse. Here the church was letting evil take over the whole body. Christ was supposed to be good leaven to change the people, but first the old had to be removed. We may want God to "bless our mess", but His plan is repentance first. When we die to sin, He will wash it away and fill us with His Spirit
