(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The unrighteous (adikoi). To remind them of the verb adikeō just used.
The Kingdom of God (theou basileian). Precisely, God’s kingdom.
Be not deceived (mē planāsthe). Present passive imperative with negative mē. Do not be led astray by plausible talk to cover up sin as mere animal behaviourism. Paul has two lists in 1Co 6:9, 1Co 6:10, one with repetition of oute, neither (fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, or malakoi, abusers of themselves with men or arsenokoitai or sodomites as in 1Ti 1:10 a late word for this horrid vice, thieves, covetous), the other with ou not (drunkards, revilers, extortioners). All these will fall short of the kingdom of God. This was plain talk to a city like Corinth. It is needed today. It is a solemn roll call of the damned even if some of their names are on the church roll in Corinth whether officers or ordinary members.
