5:7a Get rid of the old leaven,

Remove the old yeast ⌊of sin⌋
-or-
Just as the Jews remove all yeast from their houses before they celebrate the Passover feast, so you should remove/expel this immoral man from your group.

5:7b that you may be a new unleavened batch,

so that you may become ⌊like⌋ bread that has no yeast in it, ⌊that is, a pure church⌋.
-or-
Then you will be ⌊holy/pure⌋, like new bread made without yeast,

5:7c as you really are.

God has indeed made you clean/pure.
-or-
just as you really are God’s holy/special people.

5:7d For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

For Christ has been sacrificed for us (incl.), like a Passover lamb.
-or-
For Christ has died as our (incl.) sacrifice, our (incl.) Passover Lamb.
-or-
For Christ died ⌊to set us (incl.) free from our (incl.) sins⌋. He is like the lamb that the Jews kill/sacrifice at Passover time.
