Ver. 8. ἀλλὰ ὑμεῖς κ.τ.λ.: “Nay, but you commit wrong and robbery— this too (cf. 6) upon your brothers!” Mr. reads this, like the parl. ἀλλὰ clause of ver. 6, as a further question; it is the answer to the question of ver. 7—the sad fact contrasted with the duty of the Christian. The spiritual ‘kinship which heightens the duty of submission to wrong, aggravates its commission.
Vv. 9, 10. On ἢ οὐκ οἴδατε; see note tover.2. The wrongers of their brethren are surely unaware of the fact that *wrong-doers (ἄδικοι) will not inherit.

God’s kingdom” (which nevertheless they profess to seek, i. 7 ff.)—an axiom of revelation, indeed of conscience, but the over-clever sometimes forget elemen- tary moral principles; hence the μὴ πλανᾶσθε. Their conduct puts them on a level with the heathen (ot ἄδικοι, 1). Θεοῦ βασιλείαν (doubly anarthrous; see note on ii. 5), ‘‘God’s kingdom ”—the expression indicating the region and nature of the realm from which un- righteousness exc'udes; “πε kingdom of God is righteou:ness’’ (Rom. xiv. 17; cf. Matt. v. το, xili. 43, Luke xiv. 14, Rev. i. 18, ii. 8 f., etc.). The deception taking place on this fundamental point springs from the frivolity of the Hellenic nature; it had a specific cause in the libertinism deduced from the gospel of Free Grace and the abrogation of the Mosaic Law (12 f., see notes; cf. Rom. vi. I, 15, Gal. v. 13).—In νν. οὗ, το the general warning is carried into detail. Ten classes of sinners are dis- tinguished, uncleanness and greed fur- nishing the prevailing categories (cf. v. *g-11): “neither fornicators (the con- spicuous sin of Cor.: v. 1, etc.; vii. 2) . . . neither covetous men—no drunkards, no railers, no plunderers (see txtl. note) will inherit,” etc. Idolaters are ranged between fornicators and adulterers—an association belonging to the cultus of Aphrodité Pandemos at Cor. µαλακοί, soft, voluptuous, appears in this connex- ion to signify general addiction to sins of the flesh; lexical ground is wanting for the sense of pathici, suggested to some interpreters by the following word
