or, slain.

• No assembly can guarantee itself against the entrance of evil, but every assembly of God is bound not to tolerate it. When evil is known, the church is bound to put it away. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 5:6-8” by W. Kelly)

• The saints are unleavened, not merely ought to be. Their practical conduct is grounded on their standing. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 5:6-8” by W. Kelly)

• But the figure of an unleavened lump at once recalls Christ as the paschal lamb, and the consequent putting away of sin by His sacrifice. This deepens the ground on which the apostle demands that sin should be judged by the saints. (“Notes on 1 Corinthians 5:6-8” by W. Kelly)

• Christ had been offered up as the Paschal Lamb, and they were to keep the feast without leaven, keeping themselves from the old leaven; in order that they might be in fact, what they were before God—an unleavened lump. (“1 Corinthians 5” by J.N. Darby)

• The assembly was an unleavened lump, looked at in the Spirit as an assembly, and not individually. It is thus that we must view it, for it is only in the Spirit that it is so. (“1 Corinthians 5” by J.N. Darby)

• The assembly ought to be a “new lump,” and was not if evil was allowed, and, consequently, ought to purge herself from the old leaven, because she is unleavened in God’s thoughts. (“1 Corinthians 5” by J.N. Darby)

The revisers properly omit "therefore," in verses 7, 13. It is a direct call in both, not a consequence.
