leaven: Or “yeast.” A substance added in order to ferment dough; especially a portion of fermented dough preserved from a previous batch. (Ex 12:20) In the Bible, leaven is often used as a symbol of sin and corruption.—See study note on Mt 16:6.
ferments: Or “spreads through; affects.” The Greek verb used here, zy·moʹo (“to leaven”), is related to the noun for “leaven,” zyʹme, also used in this verse. At Ga 5:9, Paul uses the same metaphor, which was apparently a proverbial saying.
