Quote by Elbert Hubbard

We are punished by our sins, not for them.

We are punished by our sins, not for them.

Summary

This quote means that the consequences we face in life are a result of our own actions and decisions, not simply because we have committed sins. It suggests that rather than being directly punished by a higher power for our wrongdoings, we experience the negative repercussions of our actions as a natural consequence. It emphasizes personal responsibility and accountability for the choices we make, implying that we have control over our own fate and can learn from our mistakes.
