People's Commentary (NT)
1 Corinthians 6:9
The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God. The glorious
kingdom of which the church is the earthly type. The church is God's
kingdom on earth, and its faithful members "inherit" the heavenly
kingdom (Matthew 25:34).
Be not deceived. Let no one make the mistake of thinking that any
unrighteous man shall be an heir.
Effeminate. This and the next phrase refer to a shameful crime
quite prevalent among the heathen, the first submitting themselves to
the foul sensuality, and the second actively "abusing themselves with
men", contrary to nature. Both are Sodomites. None guilty of any one of
the list of vices given can be an heir of heaven.
