Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

22, 23. and He will cause sin to bring its punishment.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

5:15-23 Lawful marriage is a means God has appointed to keep from these destructive vices. But we are not properly united, except as we attend to God's word, seeking his direction and blessing, and acting with affection. Ever remember, that though secret sins may escape the eyes of our fellow-creatures, yet a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, who not only sees, but ponders all his goings. Those who are so foolish as to choose the way of sin, are justly left of God to themselves, to go on in the way to destruction.


Numbers 32:23 "But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the LORD, and be sure your sin will find you out.
Psalm 7:15 He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made.
Psalm 9:15 The nations have sunk down in the pit which they have made; In the net which they hid, their own foot has been caught.
Psalm 40:12 For evils beyond number have surrounded me; My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see; They are more numerous than the hairs of my head, And my heart has failed me.
Proverbs 1:31 "So they shall eat of the fruit of their own way And be satiated with their own devices.
Proverbs 1:32 "For the waywardness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them. (NASB ©1995)
