An Unchangeable Destiny
Commentators unanimously agree this verse describes a future point—either at death or the final judgment—where a person's spiritual character becomes permanently fixed. It is not a command to sin, but a solemn prophecy that after this life, the unjust will remain unjust and the righteous will remain righteous for all eternity. There are no second chances after this final moment.
