1 Corinthians.

Can you imagine the trauma this verse could cause to Children who actually live in these types of environments through no fault of their own...

Would people be happy if 1 Corinthians 6:9(b)-10 said:
"The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who have sex with men, thieves,
the greedy, drunkards, slanderers, swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."?
Note that the prelude scriptures to the above scriptures, 1 Corinthians 6:7-9(a) reads:
The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means you have been completely defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated? Instead, "You yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:"
Verse 11 makes it clear that those who were 'bad' can inherit the Kingdom where it reads
"And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God."
