“The Wages of Sin”
Mormon wrote that “every man receiveth wages of him whom he listeth to obey” (Alma 3:27). When men choose to follow Satan, as the Amlicites did, they soon find themselves caught “in their own snare” (D&C 10:26). They learn that “the devil will not support his children at the last day, but doth speedily drag them down to hell” (Alma 30:60). As Jesus said, “Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin” (John 8:34), and as Paul wrote, “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Sin brings its own punishment.
