Thieves are those who take what does not belong to them, disregarding the rights and property of others. In the ancient world, theft was a common issue, often leading to severe punishments. The inclusion of thieves in this list highlights the importance of integrity and respect for others' possessions. The New Testament further emphasizes restitution and repentance for those who have stolen, as seen in the story of Zacchaeus (<a href="/luke/19-8.htm">Luke 19:8-9</a>).nor the greedy Greed, or covetousness, is a deep-seated desire for more than one needs or deserves, often at the expense of others. It is condemned in the Tenth Commandment (<a href="/exodus/20-17.htm">Exodus 20:17</a>) and is seen as idolatry in <a href="/colossians/3-5.htm">Colossians 3:5</a>. In the Greco-Roman world, greed was often associated with the pursuit of wealth and power, leading to social inequality and injustice. The Bible consistently warns against the dangers of greed, urging believers to seek contentment and generosity (<a href="/1_timothy/6-6.htm">1 Timothy 6:6-10</a>).nor drunkards Drunkenness is repeatedly condemned in Scripture as it leads to a loss of self-control and moral judgment (<a href="/proverbs/20.htm">Proverbs 20:1</a>, <a href="/ephesians/5-18.htm">Ephesians 5:18</a>). In the cultural context of Corinth, excessive drinking was often associated with pagan rituals and social gatherings. The Bible calls for sobriety and self-discipline, encouraging believers to be filled with the Spirit rather than wine. The story of Noah (<a href="/genesis/9-20.htm">Genesis 9:20-21</a>) serves as an early example of the negative consequences of drunkenness.nor verbal abusers Verbal abuse, or reviling, involves using words to harm, insult, or belittle others. This behavior is contrary to the biblical call to love and edify one another (<a href="/ephesians/4-29.htm">Ephesians 4:29</a>). In the historical context, verbal abuse could lead to social discord and division within the community. Jesus taught the importance of words, warning that they reflect the heart's condition (<a href="/matthew/12-34.htm">Matthew 12:34-37</a>). Believers are urged to speak truth in love and to build each other up.nor swindlers Swindlers are those who deceive or cheat others for personal gain. This behavior is condemned as it violates principles of honesty and justice. In the ancient world, swindling could involve fraudulent business practices or exploitation of the vulnerable. The Bible calls for fair dealings and integrity, as seen in the teachings of Proverbs (<a href="/proverbs/11.htm">Proverbs 11:1</a>). Jesus' cleansing of the temple (<a href="/matthew/21-12.htm">Matthew 21:12-13</a>) reflects His disdain for those who exploit others for profit.will inherit the kingdom of God The kingdom of God is a central theme in Jesus' teachings, representing God's sovereign rule and the fulfillment of His promises. Inheriting the kingdom implies receiving eternal life and participating in God's redemptive plan. This phrase underscores the seriousness of the behaviors listed, as they are incompatible with the values of God's kingdom. The call to repentance and transformation is echoed throughout Scripture, urging believers to live in a manner worthy of their calling (<a href="/ephesians/4.htm">Ephesians 4:1</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/c/corinth.htm">Corinth</a> A major city in ancient Greece, known for its wealth and moral decadence.
