Sin will a l w a y s leave a consequence and this is the part that sinful people fail to realize.Though the word consequence is n o t found within your Bible, there are other words that we should notice:1. Recompense – the return or repayment of deedsJeremiah 25:14 – “For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.”👉 Shows that every action brings a return — a consequence.2. Wages – payment for one’s actionsRomans 6:23 – “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”👉 The “wages” of sin is its consequence.3. Reward – the outcome of deeds (good or bad)Psalm 91:8 – “Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.”👉 The word “reward” here means the inevitable result of wickedness.4. Fruit – results or outcomes of behaviorGalatians 6:7 – “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”👉 The principle of sowing and reaping points to consequences.5. End – the final result or outcomeRomans 6:21 – “What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.”👉 The “end” describes the consequence of sin.6. Judgment – the divine consequence for sinHebrews 9:27 – “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”👉 Judgment is the ultimate consequence of life’s actions.7. Punishment / Visitation / RequiteIsaiah 13:11 – “And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity…”Deuteronomy 32:35 – “To me belongeth vengeance, and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time…”👉 These words capture the idea of consequences from God’s hand.✅ Conclusion: The KJV does not use “consequence,” but expresses the same idea through words like:Recompense, Wages, Reward, Fruit, End, Judgment, Punishment, Requite, Visitation.All carry the meaning that choices lead to results — either blessings for obedience or curses for disobedience.
