Summary for 1Cor 6:9-11: 6:9-11 ^a Those who willingly sin have no share in the Kingdom of God. The lives of Christians must reflect the faith they confess. 6:9 ^b Don’t fool yourselves: Sin is deceptive; believers should not take it lightly, as if it were somehow acceptable (Jer 17:9 ^c).

• Continuing to indulge unrepentantly in sexual sin indicates a heart that has not been renewed by the Holy Spirit. Sexual sins include adultery (see Exod 20:14 ^d; Matt 5:27-28 ^e) and practicing homosexuality (cp. Lev 18:22 ^f; 20:13 ^g; Rom 1:26-27 ^h; 1 Tim 1:10 ⁱ).
6:10 ^j none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God: The repetition of this point (also 6:9 ^k) emphasizes the severe consequences of living in sin (for similar warnings, see Gal 5:19-21 ^l; Eph 5:5 ^m; cp. Col 3:5-6 ⁿ).
