KJV ORIGINAL

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,

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Don't you realize that people who keep choosing wrong won't be part of God's kingdom? Don't fool yourself — this includes people who sleep around, worship other things besides God, cheat on their partners, or exploit others sexually.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's kingdom has standards, and pretending they don't exist won't change that reality.

Deuteronomy 12:18

Instead, you must eat them in the presence of the LORD your God at the place the LORD your God will choose. You, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites living in your towns should all eat together there. And you should celebrate joyfully before the LORD your God in everything you do.

These are the things you must offer to the LORD during your appointed festivals, in addition to any personal vows you make and voluntary gifts you bring. This includes your burnt offerings, grain offerings, drink offerings, and fellowship offerings.
