Leaven and the Sin of Pride “Your boasting is not good. Dont you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough?” (1 Corinthians 5:6) When it comes to leaven as a metaphor, Scripture especially narrows in on the sin of arrogance, boasting, conceit and pride. In the same way that a little yeast affects the whole batch of dough, causing it to become puffed up, a little bit of pride and arrogance in our hearts causes us to think more highly of ourselves than we ought. We must deal with the leaven in our own hearts, knowing that arrogance is not pleasing to the Lord, and pride often precedes our own downfall. “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18)
