Chunks: The Letters of John

In a well-known phrase from Romans 6:23, the apostle Paul writes that “the wages of sin is death.” But as we’ve seen, John writes that “there is a sin that does not lead to death” (1 John 5:17). Is this a contradiction? It sounds like it if the verses are read by themselves. But as I’ll suggest in this episode, the contradiction disappears if we read the verses in their proper context.
