The results or consequences of evildoing, as in She ate all of the strawberries and ended up with a terrible stomachache--the wages of sin, no doubt. This expression comes from the New Testament, where Paul writes to the Romans (6:23): "The wages of sin is death." Today it is often used more lightly, as in the example.

The Wages of Sin is a BBC Books original novel written by David A. McIntee and based on the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It features the Third Doctor, Liz Shaw and Jo Grant. The events of the novel apparently take place immediately following The Three Doctors.

It is noteworthy for depicting the Doctor's first test flight of the TARDIS following the restoration of his time-travelling abilities. It also shows Liz's first trip in the TARDIS, since the Doctor was unable to work the ship during her time with him as a companion.

During the story, the Doctor, Jo and Liz meet Rasputin.

Like all Doctor Who spin-off media, its relationship to the ongoing story of the television series is open to interpretation.
