1 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 6

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 6:10
  
  revilers: Or “the verbally abusive.”—See study note on 1Co 5:11.
  
  extortioners: Or “swindlers; robbers.” Extortion is the act or practice of improperly taking or obtaining anything from a person by use of fear, whether by force, threats, or any other undue exercise of power. The basic sense of the Greek word for “extortioner” (harʹpax) is “snatcher.” (Kingdom Interlinear) At Mt 7:15, the same Greek word is rendered “ravenous.” Paul said that some of the Christians in Corinth had formerly done such things but were now washed clean.—1Co 6:11; compare study note on Lu 18:11.
