“So Paul was wrong, and those who do such things will inherit the kingdom of God?”

No, It is (apparently) your understanding of what Paul meant that is wrong. I agree with all the Holy Spirit inspired.

• I am grateful for my salvation and my amazing Savior, that redeemed me, and now holds me securely in His hand.
• I am grateful for my Heavenly Father, that chose to sacrifice His only begotten Son to make me His child.
• I am grateful for the blessed Holy Spirit, that convicted me of sin, opened my eyes to the Gospel of Grace, and sealed me to the day of redemption and intercedes for me.

I wish salvation for you and all who don’t know their fate.

Best to you

Saint Paul's word's do not seem hard to understand, as long as you do not come to them with preconceived Protestant conclusions:

Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
These words were written to those who had faith, not to unbelievers. There is no exception: "unless you have faith." Our Lord himself declared: "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven." If one were to really believe the Bible then he must take these words as they are. I will accept what is written in the Bible, and not the man-made traditions of the Protestant reformers.
