"The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God..."
Text: 1 Corinthians 6:9
RAISING BASIC ISSUES
The Corinthian Church seemed to be rife with problems. These problems added together caused Paul to raise up basic issues.
“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not
inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.
Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor
covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners,
will inherit the kingdom of God.”
