1 CORINTHIANS 6:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,”
Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? — The formula 'do you not know' signals both warning and catechesis. Paul catalogs those excluded from the kingdom: the sexually immoral (pornoi), idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes (malakoi), men who have sex with men (arsenokoitai), thieves, the greedy, drunkards, slanderers, and swindlers. The list mirrors Jewish moral instruction but applies it to the Corinthian community itself, suggesting these vices are present threats.
