Note, It is dangerous for Christian churches to encourage those among them who entertain, especially who set themselves to propagate, destructive errors.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

A little leaven--the false teaching of the Judaizers. A small portion of legalism, if it be mixed with the Gospel, corrupts its purity. To add legal ordinances and works in the least degree to justification by faith, is to undermine "the whole." So "leaven" is used of false doctrine (Mt 16:12: compare Mt 13:33).
