Proverbs 11:19
Genuine righteousness leads to life, but the pursuit of evil brings death.
As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.
He that is stedfast in righteousness shall attain unto life; And he that pursueth evil doeth it to his own death.
