In the historical context of Corinth, a bustling trade city, theft was a common issue. The commandment "You shall not steal" (<a href="/exodus/20-15.htm">Exodus 20:15</a>) is foundational in the Judeo-Christian ethic, emphasizing respect for others' property. This phrase serves as a reminder that integrity and honesty are essential virtues for those seeking to live in accordance with God's will.nor the greedy The term "greedy" is translated from the Greek "pleonektai," which denotes an insatiable desire for more, often at the expense of others. Greed is condemned throughout Scripture, as seen in <a href="/luke/12-15.htm">Luke 12:15</a>, where Jesus warns, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed." In a city like Corinth, known for its wealth and commerce, the temptation to prioritize material gain over spiritual values was significant. This phrase challenges believers to cultivate contentment and generosity.nor drunkards "Drunkards" comes from the Greek "methusoi," referring to those who habitually overindulge in alcohol. The Bible consistently warns against drunkenness, as it leads to a loss of self-control and moral compromise (<a href="/ephesians/5-18.htm">Ephesians 5:18</a>). In the cultural context of Corinth, where social gatherings often involved excessive drinking, this admonition calls Christians to a life of sobriety and self-discipline, reflecting the fruit of the Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a>).nor verbal abusers The phrase "verbal abusers" is derived from the Greek "loidoroi," indicating those who use words to harm or insult others. The power of speech is a recurring theme in Scripture, with <a href="/james/3-6.htm">James 3:6</a> describing the tongue as "a fire, a world of unrighteousness." In a society where rhetoric and public speaking were highly valued, this warning underscores the importance of using language to edify and encourage rather than to tear down.nor swindlers "Swindlers" translates from the Greek "harpages," meaning those who deceive or cheat others for personal gain. This term highlights the unethical practices that were prevalent in Corinth's commercial environment. The Bible calls for honesty and fairness in all dealings, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/11.htm">Proverbs 11:1</a>: "A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight." This phrase exhorts believers to uphold justice and integrity.will inherit the kingdom of God The phrase "inherit the kingdom of God" speaks to the ultimate reward for those who live according to God's standards. The Greek word "kleronomesousin" (inherit) implies receiving a portion or share, often associated with familial rights. This inheritance is not earned by human effort but is a gift of grace through faith in Jesus Christ (<a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>). The kingdom of God represents the reign of God both now and in eternity, a promise of eternal life and fellowship with Him. This concluding phrase serves as both a warning and an invitation, urging believers to examine their lives and align with God's righteous standards.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_corinthians/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 10. - Nor thieves, etc. (see <a href="/revelation/22-15.htm">Revelation 22:15</a>). <a href="/commentaries/1_corinthians/6-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>nor οὔτε (oute) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_3777.htm">Strong's 3777: </a> And not, neither, nor.
