Sometimes people suffer as a result of their sins.
King Saul lived a miserable life and eventually was slain because he had rebelled against God (1
Chron. 10:13,14).
Judas killed himself because he had betrayed Jesus (Matthew 27:3-5).
Sometimes innocent people suffer as a result of other people's sins.
This may result from cruelty or accident, as when innocent bystanders are killed by a drunken driver, or when a thief violently attacks his victims.
All people suffer as a result of Adam and Eve's sin.
God originally placed Adam and Eve in a state of bliss with no problems of any kind. But He warned them of the consequences of sin. When they sinned anyway, He decreed they would endure pain, suffering, hardship, and eventual death (Gen. 3:16-19).
Suffering is not limited to those who are wicked.
Some people think that only wicked people suffer, but God is on the side of the righteous and will remove all their troubles. It follows that, if a person is suffering, he must have committed some sin he should repent of.
