The Thoughts of Wesley son of Cornelius

For it is written:

“… him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil …” (Hebrews 2:14b)

“ … The soul who sins is the one who will die.” (Ezekiel 18:4b)

“Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned—for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses …” (Romans 5:12-14a)

“For the wages of sin is death …” (Romans 6:23a)

“He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. …” (1 John 3:8a)

“By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19)

“Altogether, Adam lived 930 years, and then he died.” (Genesis 5:5)

“For the wise man, like the fool, will not be long remembered; in days to come both will be forgotten. Like the fool, the wise man too must die!” (Ecclesiastes 2:16)

Praise God for the ellipsis (…). You’ll see what I mean tomorrow.
