1 Corinthians 6:10
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
κλέπτης
One who takes secretly, cunningly — what does not belong to him. Jesus contrasts the thief directly with Himself. The thief comes to drain and destroy life. Jesus comes to give it — not just life, but life overflowing. Know who is at the door.
κληρονομέω
will inherit.

κληρονομέω
To inherit, to receive as an inheritance. Kleronomeo. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. Inheritance comes through relationship not achievement. Sons receive what servants cannot.
