If you err it is not for me to punish you. We are punished by our sins not for them.

Men are not punished for their sins, but by them.
Kin (Frank McKinney Hubbard) Hubbard
The aim of the law is not to punish sins, but is to prevent certain external results.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
To those who wish to punish others— or at least to see them punished, if the avengers are too cowardly to take matters in to their own hands— the belief in a fiery, hideous hell appears to be a great source of comfort.
Steve Allen
He [God] owes me an apology too- at the very least. I'm not saying I shouldn't have been punished for those sins I committed. I'm saying that the punishments he chose were inhuman. I wonder what favor I'd want. I think I may be afraid to ask for it. I'm afraid He won't grant it. I'm more afraid that He will. Wouldn't it be tragic to find out that He really has been here all this time?
Joseph Heller
Aaron had learned … from Mr. Fairlow's two-hour sermons on "The Jealousy of an Angry Jehovah Who Hath Weighed Sinners in the Balance and Found Them Wanting",...that God was a torturer who punished small boys for sins they might commit later. ~ Ch. 3
