1Cor 6:9 Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, 6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.

Here Paul tells the Corinthian's congregation the truth of the Old Law, and what it condemned, and why God created the Old Law given to Moses, it was not for the righteous, which all of them had become by their faith in Jesus Christ, no! The Law was for the unrighteous and the sinner:

1Tim.1:7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm. 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully, 1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine.

These men in Corinthian's wanted to be teachers of law again allowing brothers and sister to go to court against one another, but they were actually defrauding each other, rather than getting justice, as they had imagined, why? Because the law was abolished in Christ if one went back too it they had no sacrifice for sin left. Christ blood was not shed to make us righteous under the Old Law, Christ blood was shed to bring us under the New Covenant, the Law of love, that is the only valid contract with God for Christian's today. Thus, to handle the Old Law lawfully, as Paul stated at 1Tim 1:8, was to tell Christian's it was abolished in Christ Jesus, and not mistakenly bring it into the body of Christ Jesus by his own precious blood, thus, invalidating what he had sacrificed for us. to put away it away once for all time.

Yes, if they had not yet been set free from the Old Law, than they were found to be under a long list of unrighteous acts the Old Law condemned, but if they were declared righteous in the “life of Christ” receiving his life, they were free indeed, and should let themselves be wronged in material matters as Christ Jesus the head of their spiritual body did. Moreover, it was the life of Christ Jesus making them righteous not an act they could perform in their flesh which was dead in Christ. They received a free gift of life, Christ Jesus righteous, not their own, imputed too them by their Father Yahweh. If they invalidated this free gift love by the laws of the world, or the Old Law, they found themselves once again as unrighteous sinners without hope, or the blood of Christ Jesus, which gave freedom too them under the new covenant. They would find once more they are a practicer of sin without the blood of the new covenant; if not doing a physical act of an unrighteous. But a thought that is an act of sin too a perfect God, and a perfect law which no sinner can keep.

Matt.5:27 "You have heard that it was said, {TR adds "to the ancients,"} 'You shall not commit adultery;'{Exodus 20:14}
5:28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
