OET (OET-LV) nor thieves, nor coveters, not drunkards, not insulters, not swindlers, the_kingdom of_god will_be_inheriting.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
πλεονέκται
coveters
Paul is using the adjective greedy as a noun in order to describe a group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [people who are greedy] or [greedy people]
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
λοίδοροι
insulters
Here, slanderers is the same word that is translated “verbally abusive” in 5:11. It describes someone who shows anger by using vicious words to attack others. Use a word in your language that describes this kind of person. Alternate translation: [vocally vicious people]
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
ἅρπαγες
swindlers
Here, swindlers is the same word that is translated “swindler” in 5:11. It identifies a person who takes money from others dishonestly. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express swindlers with a word that refers to such people. Alternate translation: [embezzlers]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
κληρονομήσουσιν
/will_be/_inheriting
Here Paul speaks of the kingdom of God as if it were property that a parent could pass on to their child when the parent dies. Here, Paul uses the word inherit to refer to being able to live in the kingdom of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this figure of speech with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [will live in]
6:10 none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God: The repetition of this point (also 6:9) emphasizes the severe consequences of living in sin (for similar warnings, see Gal 5:19-21; Eph 5:5; cp. Col 3:5-6).
OET (OET-LV) nor thieves, nor coveters, not drunkards, not insulters, not swindlers, the_kingdom of_god will_be_inheriting.
OET (OET-RV) or thieves or greedy, or drunkards or slanderers or swindlers, will inherit God’s kingdom.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
