For be sure of this: no immoral, impure, or greedy person—for that one is [in effect] an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God [for such a person places a higher value on something other than God].
For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
You can be sure that using people or religion or things just for what you can get out of them—the usual variations on idolatry—will get you nowhere, and certainly nowhere near the kingdom of Christ, the kingdom of God. 6-7 Don’t let yourselves get taken in by religious smooth talk. God gets furious with people who are full of religious sales talk but want nothing to do with him. Don’t even hang around people like that. 8-10 You groped your way through that murk once, but no longer. You’re out in the open now. The bright light of Christ makes your way plain. So no more stumbling around. Get on with it! The good, the right, the true—these are the actions appropriate for daylight hours. Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it. 11-16 Don’t waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are. It’s a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see. Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ.Wake up from your sleep,Climb out of your coffins;Christ will show you the light!So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times!
For this you know with certainty, that no [e]immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
porque debéis saber que en el reino de Cristo y de Dios no tendrá parte ni herencia nadie que sea inmoral o impuro, ni nadie que sea avaro, pues que un avaro no es sino un idólatra que pone su dinero en el lugar que corresponde a Dios.
Here is what you can be sure of. Those who give themselves over to sexual sins are lost. So are people whose lives are impure. The same is true of those who always want more and more. People who do these things might as well worship statues of gods. No one who does them will receive a share in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a]
For of this you can be sure: no immoral, impure or greedy person – such a person is an idolater – has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a]
You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.

فَإِنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ هَذَا جَيِّداً: أَنَّ كُلَّ زَانٍ أَوْ نَجِسٍ أَوْ صَاحِبِ شَهْوَةٍ نَهِمَةٍ، مَا هُوَ إِلّا عَابِدُ أَصْنَامٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِيرَاثٌ فِي مَلَكُوتِ الْمَسِيحِ وَاللهِ.
Cebuano
Timan-i gayod ninyo nga dili makasulod sa gingharian ni Cristo ug sa Dios ang mga tawo nga nagapakighilawas gawas sa kaminyoon, ang mga tawo nga mahugaw ug binuhatan, ug ang mga hakog. (Kay ang kahakog usa man ka pamaagi sa pagsimba sa mga dios-dios.)[a]
