Ezekiel 18:20-24

20The person who 1sins will die. A 2son will not suffer the punishment for the father’s guilt, nor will a father suffer the punishment for the son’s guilt; the 3righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.

21“But if the 4wicked person turns from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall certainly live; he shall not die. 225All his offenses which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his 6righteousness which he has practiced, he will live. 237Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares the Lord God, “8rather than that he would 9turn from his ways and live?

24“But when a righteous person 10turns away from his righteousness, commits injustice and does according to all the abominations that the wicked person does, will he live? 11All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his 12treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die.
