Evil vs Good

‘The evil bow before the good.’ The wicked will be brought down to respect the righteous.

Sin has two main results: Present shame and emptiness (Rom. 6:21) and future, eternal death and hell, the end of a life of sowing to the flesh (Rom. 6:21-23; 8:13; Gal. 6:7-8; Rev. 20:6, 10-15).

The wicked will be resurrected to eternal punishment and damnation 1,000 years after the resurrection of the righteous (John 5:29; Dan. 12:2; Rev. 14:9-11; 20:4-6, 11-15; 21:8; 22:15). The wicked will be resurrected to judgment and punishment in contrast to the righteous who will be raised to everlasting life and eternal freedom from judgment (John 5:24).

Evil vs Good

‘Evil pursues sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.’ Sinners will reap the evil of their doings, and the righteous their good.

Sinners suffer more pain and hardships in damning their souls than the righteous do following the path of salvation. The way of the transgressor is hard, desolate, and fruitless.

It was Solomon’s opinion that the sinner suffered only to heap up wealth which would be given to the righteous at his death, but this is not an unfailing rule. Many times a sinner leaves his goods to other sinners, and sometimes a righteous man leaves his to other righteous persons.
