**Is the punishment of sin death?**
The God inspired/breathed Bible says:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” \
\-[Genesis 2:17](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%202:17&version=ESV)
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned\
-[Romans 5:12](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%205:12&version=ESV)
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. \
\-[Romans 6:23](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%206:23&version=ESV)
Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. \
\-[James 1:15](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%201:15&version=ESV)
