Even Worse

(Pro 13:6 KJV)  Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

If I were translating this into Greek, I think that I would use the present tense for the word “overthroweth”.  The reason for that is in the Greek, the present tense has this idea that it is a continuing action.  If you look at the verse in Proverbs, the person is already labeled as wicked or evil.  They are already on the bottom of the totem pole.  What more can you do?  I guess you can just keep driving them down lower and lower, which is the idea here.

So?  Evil does not take a vacation.  It is not getting milder.  It does not go away.  It must be purged, and that requires the shedding of blood, the blood of Jesus.
