Context of 1 Corinthians 6:10
8Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, even against your own brothers! 9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 12“Everything is permissible for me,” but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible for me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.

Nor revilers - The same word which in 1 Corinthians 5:11, is rendered railer; see the note at that place. Nor extortioners - See the note at 1 Corinthians 5:11. Shall inherit - Shall enter; shalt be saved, 1 Corinthians 6:9.Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 9-11Verses 9-11 The Corinthians are warned against many great evils, of which they had formerly been guilty. There is much force in these inquiries, when we consider that they were addressed to a people puffed up with a fancy of their being above others in wisdom and knowledge. All unrighteousness is sin; all reigning sin, nay, every actual sin, committed with design, and not repented of, shuts out of the kingdom of heaven. Be not deceived. Men are very much…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10nor … will inherit the kingdom of God: Repeating this point (also 6:9) highlights the serious consequences of living in sin. For similar warnings, see Galatians 5:19–21; Ephesians 5:5; compare Colossians 3:5–6.Read the comment
