Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. In this context, Paul reminds them of the kind of people they used to be - and how God changed their lives:
So he knew the people of that church and writes to admonish them about a variety of sins, including factions in the church, sexual immorality and lawsuits between believers. Almost 2,000 years ago, the Apostle Paul wrote letters to the church gathered in Corinth, a city where he had lived and worked for eighteen months.
