Ezekiel 33:12-16

12And you, son of man, say to 1your fellow citizens, ‘The 2righteousness of a righteous one will not save him on the day of his offense, and as for the wickedness of a wicked one, he will 3not stumble because of it on the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous one will not be able to live 4by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.’ 13When I say to the righteous that he will certainly live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he 5commits injustice, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but for that same injustice of his which he has committed he will die. 14But when I say to the wicked, ‘You will certainly die,’ and he 6turns from his sin and practices 7justice and righteousness, 15if a wicked person returns a pledge, 8pays back what he has taken by robbery, walks by the 9statutes 10which ensure life without committing injustice, he shall certainly live; he shall not die. 1611None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced justice and righteousness; he shall certainly live.
