Wages Of Sin

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

• Balaam
• Temptation

Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.

Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
