What kinds of people will not inherit the kingdom of God according to 1 Corinthians 6?
According to 1 Corinthians 6, the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God. Paul lists fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, the effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, and covetous people, and then adds 'and so forth,' indicating such lifestyles characterize those outside God's kingdom.
Les teaches from 1 Corinthians 6 that Paul is writing to the Corinthians and says in verse 9, 'Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?' He warns, 'Be not deceived,' then names fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, covetous, and so forth. Les points out that verse 11 says, 'And such were some of you,' with the past tense meaning not anymore. This fits the call for God's people to be separated and different, not indistinguishable from unbelievers.
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,
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
