Grishamの短編小説Funny Boyの中に覚えたい台詞が出てきました。
Thank you, Doris, Emporia thought but didn't say. Doris was the only person she'd told about inviting Adrian to church. "I invite everyone to worship with us, Reverend. That's what you want. That's what the Bible says."
"Well, this is a little different.
" "Don't worry. He ain't comin'."
"Praise the Lord. The wages of sin is death, Emporia, and this young man is paying for his sins."
"Yes, he is."
"wage" の意味としては賃金の他に "wage a war" とか "wage the peace" の用法を十年前に（6/8/2006）覚えましたが、上の引用文での意味は文脈からすると、報い、応報に違いありません。辞書で確認します。
・Oxford English Dictionary: The result or effect of doing something considered wrong or unwise: the wages of sin is death
・Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary: recompense, reward --usually used in plural but singular or plural in construction: the wages of sin is death -- Romans 6:23 (Revised Standard Version)
元々は聖書にある台詞でした。

A hotel for Muslim travelers has opened near Lake Kawaguchi, a beauty site at the foot of Mount Fuji. It ticks all the right boxes, but a month after opening it has yet to take any bookings.
