Summary

This quote suggests that the fear of being exposed for committing a sin intensifies the negative emotions associated with that wrongdoing. When there is a potential for the sin to be revealed, the individual becomes more frightened and apprehensive about the consequences they may face. The impending threat of the truth being exposed intensifies the stress and anxiety surrounding the sin, heightening the perceived magnitude of its impact. The fear of being found out adds a layer of terror, compounding the guilt and shame associated with the wrongdoing.
