Ezekiel 18:4-9

4For all people are mine to judge—both parents and children alike. And this is my rule: The person who sins is the one who will die.

5“Suppose a certain man is righteous and does what is just and right.

6He does not feast in the mountains before Israel’s idols or worship them. He does not commit adultery or have intercourse with a woman during her menstrual period.

7He is a merciful creditor, not keeping the items given as security by poor debtors. He does not rob the poor but instead gives food to the hungry and provides clothes for the needy.

8He grants loans without interest, stays away from injustice, is honest and fair when judging others,

9and faithfully obeys my decrees and regulations. Anyone who does these things is just and will surely live, says the Sovereign Lord.
