Robert Traill (The Lord's Prayer, John 17:24), Works 2:218:

Consider how many Christ hath made highly accepted with God, who were just such as you be; as unworthy and vile as you are, or can think yourselves to be. What were the Corinthians, of whom the apostle speaks, 1 Cor. 6:9-11? If the Holy Ghost had not written it, we would be ashamed to read over such a bed-roll of abominations: Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (If it be so, what then shall become of them?) And such were some of you; but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. Every instance of Christ’s grace on great sinners (and every age is filled with many of them), should be an encouragement to every sinner to put in for a share of the same grace whereof Christ hath so great an abundance, and as great a good-will to show it.
 
I have read this list in Corinthians is not exhaustive. If so I was wondering what could be added to this list?
