Ezekiel 33:12-16
Ezekiel 33:12
And you, son of man, say to your fellow citizens, ‘The righteousness 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 not stumble because of it on the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous one will not be able to live by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.’
Ezekiel 33:13
When I say to the righteous that he will certainly live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he commits injustice, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but for that same injustice of his which he has committed he will die.
Ezekiel 33:14
But when I say to the wicked, ‘You will certainly die,’ and he turns from his sin and practices justice and righteousness,
Ezekiel 33:15
if a wicked person returns a pledge, pays back what he has taken by robbery, walks by the statutes which ensure life without committing injustice, he shall certainly live; he shall not die.
Ezekiel 33:16
None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced justice and righteousness; he shall certainly live.
