Galatians 5:21

1863–1934
Southern Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." — Galatians 5:21 (ASV)

Forewarn (προλεγω)

--did forewarn (προειπον). Paul repeats his warning given while with them. He did his duty then. Gentile churches were peculiarly subject to these sins. But who is not in danger from them?

Practise (πρασσοντες). Πρασσω is the verb for habitual practice (our very word, in fact), not ποιεω for occasional doing. The

habit of these sins is proof that one is not in the Kingdom of God and will not inherit it.
