Commentators explain that this list of behaviors that exclude someone from God's kingdom is intentionally broad. It includes not only obvious sins like theft but also "covetousness" (greed) and "reviling" (slander/gossip). Scholars like Albert Barnes note that the Bible consistently ranks greed alongside the most serious offenses, challenging us to take these so-called "respectable" sins as seriously as God does.
