SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:9
¶ ¿O no sabis que los injustos no heredarn el Reino de Dios? No erris, que ni los fornicarios, ni los idlatras, ni los adlteros, ni los afeminados, ni los homosexuales,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 6:9
Verse 9. The unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom] The unrighteous, adikoi, those who act contrary to right, cannot inherit, for the inheritance is by right. He who is not a child of God has no right to the family inheritance, for that inheritance is for the children. If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ, Rom. viii. 17. There are here ten classes of transgressors which the apostle excludes from the kingdom of God; and any man who is guilty of any one of the evils mentioned above is thereby excluded from this kingdom, whether it imply the Church of Christ here below, or the state of glory hereafter. Several of the evils here enumerated will not bear to be particularly explained; they are, however, sufficiently plain of themselves, and show us what abominations were commonly practised among the Corinthians.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God ? etc.] A way of speaking much like that in the Talmud, yqydxl ala yw[ wnya abh lw[h [dwy ywh know thou, that the world to come is not made but for the righteous? Without a righteousness there will be no entrance into the world of bliss and happiness hereafter; and this must be a better righteousness than what a sinful creature is capable of working out, and no other than the righteousness of Christ. It was a loss and want of righteousness that cast the angels down from heaven, and turned Adam out of paradise; and whoever of his posterity: are destitute of one, will fall short of enjoying the glory of God; for it is not agreeable to the holy nature of God, to his infinite justice and righteous law, to admit any into heaven without a righteousness: hence a judgment seat is erected, before which all must stand; and those that will be found without a righteousness, will be for ever excluded the kingdom of heaven; and could any unrighteous persons be received there, it would spoil the pleasure and happiness of the saints. Now this is said, partly to dissuade the Corinthians from going to law with each other before unrighteous persons, who have no right to the kingdom of God, and living and dying as they are, will have no share in it; and therefore since they are not to be fellow heirs and companions with them in another world, they should not bring their causes before them in this; and partly to reprove them for their injurious and unrighteous actions among themselves, their tricking and defrauding of one another, with other sins they were guilty of; which, if not repented of, would show, that notwithstanding their profession, they were destitute of the grace of God, were unfit to be in the kingdom of God, in a Gospel church state here below, and would be shut out of the kingdom of heaven hereafter. Be not deceived imagining, that through your knowledge and profession you shall be saved, live as you will: neither fornicators , such as are guilty of uncleanness with persons in a single state: nor idolaters ; who worship more gods than one, and not the true God; who do service to them that are not gods, and perform what the Jews call hrz hdwb[ strange service: and not only fall down to stocks and stones, but serve divers lusts and pleasures, the idols of their own hearts: nor adulterers : such as have criminal conversation with persons in a married state: nor effeminate ; or soft, or, as the Syriac renders it, albjm , corrupters; that is, of themselves, by voluntary pollution, such as are guilty of the sin of Onan, ( Genesis 38:8,9). Nor abusers of themselves with mankind ; sodomites.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-11 - The Corinthians are warned against many great evils, of which they ha formerly been guilty. There is much force in these inquiries, when we consider that they were addressed to a people puffed up with a fancy of their being above others in wisdom and knowledge. All unrighteousnes is sin; all reigning sin, nay, every actual sin, committed with design and not repented of, shuts out of the kingdom of heaven. Be no deceived. Men are very much inclined to flatter themselves that the may live in sin, yet die in Christ, and go to heaven. But we cannot hope to sow to the flesh, and reap everlasting life. They are reminde what a change the gospel and grace of God had made in them. The bloo of Christ, and the washing of regeneration, can take away all guilt Our justification is owing to the suffering and merit of Christ; ou sanctification to the working of the Holy Spirit; but both go together All who are made righteous in the sight of God, are made holy by the grace of God.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
9. Kingdom of God. See on Luke vi. 20.Fornicators. The besetting sin of Corinth. Hence the numerous solemn and emphatic allusions to it in this epistle. See ch. v. 11; vi. 15-18; x. 8. Effeminate (malakoi). Luxurious and dainty. The word was used in a darker and more horrible sense, to which there may be an allusion here. 92 Abusers, etc. See on Rom. i. 7.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
6:9 {The unrighteous} (adikoi). To remind them of the verb adikew just used. {The Kingdom of God} (qeou basileian). Precisely, God's kingdom. {Be not deceived} (me planasqe). Present passive imperative with negative me. Do not be led astray by plausible talk to cover up sin as mere animal behaviorism. Paul has two lists in verses #9,10, one with repetition of oute, neither (fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, or malakoi, abusers of themselves with men or arsenokoitai or sodomites as in #1Ti 1:10 a late word for this horrid vice, thieves, covetous), the other with ou not (drunkards, revilers, extortioners). All these will fall short of the kingdom of God. this was plain talk to a city like Corinth. It is needed today. It is a solemn roll call of the damned even if some of their names are on the church roll in Corinth whether officers or ordinary members.
