Ezekiel 33: 12 - 16
|
| 12
|
And you, son of man, say to your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him when he transgresses; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it when he turns from his wickedness; and the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness when he sins.
|
| 13
|
Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet if he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but in the iniquity that he has committed he shall die.
|
| 14
|
Again, though I say to the wicked, `You shall surely die,' yet if he turns from his sin and does what is lawful and right,
|
| 15
|
if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
|
| 16
|
None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him; he has done what is lawful and right, he shall surely live.
