What does the Bible say about consequences of sin?

Scripture reveals that sin, like in the case of David, leads to far-reaching consequences that affect not only the sinner but also those around them. In 2 Samuel 12, David's sins of adultery and murder resulted in severe consequences, including turmoil in his family and throughout his kingdom. Although David was forgiven and restored to fellowship with God, the repercussions of his actions continued to manifest in his life. This illustrates the truth that while sin is put away for believers legally in Christ, its earthly consequences remain.
