Context — Members of Christ

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,

10nor 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.

1 Corinthians 6:10 Summary

[This verse is a reminder that our actions and choices have consequences, and that those who are controlled by sinful behaviors will not inherit God's kingdom. As seen in Romans 6:23, the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. We are encouraged to examine our lives and surrender any areas of sin or rebellion to God, and to pursue a life of righteousness and holiness, as encouraged in 1 Thessalonians 4:7. By doing so, we can experience the freedom and joy of living for God, and look forward to inheriting His kingdom.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to be a 'verbal abuser' in the context of 1 Corinthians 6:10?

In this verse, a verbal abuser refers to someone who uses their words to hurt, manipulate, or control others, as seen in Ephesians 4:29-32, where we are encouraged to speak kindly and build each other up.

Is it possible for a greedy person to still be a Christian?

While it is possible for a Christian to struggle with greed, 1 Corinthians 6:10 indicates that those who are characterized by greed will not inherit the kingdom of God, highlighting the importance of surrendering to God's transforming power, as seen in 2 Corinthians 5:17.

What is the difference between a drunkard and someone who occasionally drinks too much?

A drunkard, as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 6:10, is someone who is controlled by their drinking, whereas someone who occasionally drinks too much may be struggling with self-control, but is not necessarily a slave to their behavior, as warned against in Galatians 5:21.

Does this verse mean that people who have been thieves or drunkards in the past are forever excluded from God's kingdom?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Corinthians 6:10

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. No JFB commentary on this verse.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Corinthians 6:10

Nor thieves; nor such as take away the goods of their neighbours clandestinely, or by violence, without their consent or any just authority. Nor covetous; nor persons who discover themselves excessively to love money, by their endeavours to get it into their hands any way, by oppression, cheating, or defrauding others. Nor drunkards; nor persons that make drinking their business, and use it excessively, without regard to the law and rules of temperance and sobriety. Nor revilers; nor persons that use their tongues intemperately, railing at others, and reviling them with reproachful and opprobrious names. Nor extortioners; nor any such as by violence wring out of people’ s hands what is not their due. None of these, not repenting of these sinful courses, and turning from them into a contrary course of life, shall ever come into heaven.
