Neville Goddard on 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 5 in context

Scripture Focus

7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

1 Corinthians 5:7-8

Biblical Context

Paul urges purging the old leaven of malice and wickedness so you may become unleavened, because Christ our Passover has been sacrificed; feast on sincerity and truth rather than the old ways.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s voice: Leaven represents stubborn beliefs and habitual thoughts that puff up the old self. Purging is a mental revision—casting out fear, judgment, and limitation to awaken as a new lump in consciousness. The Passover is not a ritual of the past, but the inner realization that Christ, the I AM within, is already sacrificed for you; your awareness has moved from the old to the new. The feast then is your daily inner atmosphere of sincerity and truth, a life lived from the conviction that you are already the truth you seek. To embody this, dwell in a state where you feel you are unleavened, and let the dynamic of Christ within guide your choices, speech, and actions toward honesty, kindness, and alignment with the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit in stillness and assume the state of unleavened consciousness. Say, 'I am the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth; Christ within is my Passover,' and feel this new lump take form. Then revise one recent thought until it feels real.
