did not regard equality with God

and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross. - Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, robbers—none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.

a human being who fades like grass? - Pursue peace with everyone, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
- While God has overlooked the times of human ignorance, now he commands all people everywhere to repent.
