The unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6
[9] Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
[10] nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. (NKJV)
If you read Acts 24:15 I find the Resurrection is for both the righteous and unrighteous (just and just KJV )
The majority of mankind have lived and died without knowing about Jesus. (John 3:13)
So, it is ' after ' they are resurrected they will have the opportunity if unrighteous to become righteous.
If a righteous person becomes unrighteous and an unrighteous person remains unrighteous then they will be classed with the wicked.
Please Notice Psalms 37:38; 104:35; 145:20 uses the word ' wicked ' in connection to who is destroyed.
So, by the end of Jesus' Millennium-Long reign over Earth any at that time who remain 'unrighteous' will Not inherit the Kingdom of God. Only the humble meek will inherit the Earth. They will be classed as righteous ones.
So, you are right the unrighteous will Not inherit the Kingdom of God because they have chosen to be unrighteous after being resurrected and having the opportunity to place faith and obey Jesus.
So, those of 1st Cor. 6:9-10 fall into the category found at 2nd Peter 3:9 who never repent and thus perish.
A Christian sins everyday all day. And a person who Christ died for is never condemned by God, nor under His Wrath, even while they are ungodly.
I find a lot of people ignore the little word " if " found at 1st John 1:7.
A little word, but ' if ' carries with it a BIG meaning.
Doesn't ' if ' mean anything ___________
Then you dont know the True God 2 Pet 3:7
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
1 Cor 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Seems to me there seems to be a misunderstanding about the words: righteous and unrighteous (just and unjust KJV) and the words ungodly and wicked.
There is hope for both the unrighteous and righteous - Acts 24:15 - ( just and unjust KJV )
But there is No hope for those who choose to be or choose to remain unrighteous/ unjust thus proving ungodly and wicked.
Otherwise, Jesus would Not have told us about committing the unforgivable sin found at Matt. 12:32; Luke 12:10.

Its no misunderstanding, you just teach contrary to scripture.
