The wages of sin and anger (8)
I believe the answer is:
earnings
'the wages' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'of sin and anger' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'sin'+'anger'='sinanger'
'sinanger' with letters rearranged gives 'EARNINGS'.
(Other definitions for earnings that I've seen before include "Profits from a venture" , "Monies obtained in return for labour or services" , "Proceeds" , "Wages for grannies" , "made money" .)
