A Warning Against Deception
Multiple commentators emphasize Paul's urgent warning, "Be not deceived." They explain that the Corinthians, living in a culture where these sins were normalized, were in danger of thinking lightly of them. This serves as a timeless warning against self-deception or the false hope that one can live a lifestyle of unrepentant sin and still inherit eternal life.
