2 Chronicles 36:15God did not just let them go into sin. He sent messenger after messenger, prophet after prophet, judge after judge, king after king—and they never listened. Maybe for a short time, they would put on a face of righteousness, but that was all it was. Because He loved them, God sent these men and women, but the people never listened. Even though God had compassion on them and wanted to save them from this, they were not willing. Richard T. Ritenbaugh

What the Bible says about Sin, Warning against
(From Forerunner Commentary)
Warned means "illuminated": "by them we are illuminated." Today, we might say that God's Word—His law—throws light on the subject. It keeps us informed so that we can see our duties plainly and the consequences of disobedience. The act of keeping them will produce good things. John W. Ritenbaugh
To whom is this written? To Christians, to people who have received the grace of God and are justified. And Paul is warning them: "Don't sin!" John W. Ritenbaugh
