1 Cor.6:9-11
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Paul calls them the unrighteous! BUT he also reminds them that such were some of them, BUT they have been washed, sanctified, justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. Paul gave the unrighteous HOPE! Jesus didn't come to condemn mankind, but to save them. After we have been delivered and empowered by the name of the Lord Jesus and the Spirit (Holy Ghost), then they become one of those that Paul called "such WERE some of you".
There is no condemnation to those who are IN CHRIST JESUS, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
If any man be IN Christ Jesus, he is a new creature. Old things are past away, behold all things are become new.
There is HOPE in the LORD JESUS CHRIST! No matter what the sin, there IS A REMEDY! Get IN CHRIST JESUS!
Walk in the SPIRIT (HOLY GHOST), and ye shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh.
Blessings,
