Ezekiel 18:4-9

4The life of every person belongs to me. Fathers and their children belong to me. The person who sins will die.

5“Suppose a righteous person does what is fair and right.

6He doesn’t eat at the illegal mountain worship sites or look for help from the idols of the nation of Israel. He doesn’t dishonor his neighbor’s wife or have sexual intercourse with a woman while she is having her period.

7He doesn’t oppress anyone. He returns what a borrower gives him as security for a loan. He doesn’t rob anyone. He gives food to people who are hungry, and he gives clothes to those who are naked.

8He doesn’t lend money for interest or make an excessive profit. He refuses to do evil things, and he judges everyone fairly.

9He lives by my rules and obeys my laws faithfully. This person is righteous. He will certainly live,” declares the Almighty Lord.
