1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Wrongdoers Will Not Inherit The Kingdom. But You Were Cleansed of Such Things
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be deceived. Neither sexually-immoral ones, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homo-erotic-partners[a], nor homosexuals[b], 10 nor thieves, nor greedy ones— not drunkards, not revilers, not swindlers— will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And some of you were these things. But you washed-them-away[c], but you were sanctified[d], but you were declared-righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
