As in, if you play with fire you will get burned. And if you follow the straight and narrow path, you will reach your destination. When you defy Divine Wisdom and ignore Divine Truth bad things happen. The irony is that when you seek reward and behave in order to avoid punishment, you deceive yourself about what it means to be good. You see falsities as truths and evils as goods.
