Ezekiel 18:20-22

International Children’s Bible

²⁰ It is the person who sins that will die. The son will not be punished for the father’s sin. The father will not be punished for the son’s sin. The person who does right is responsible for his own goodness. The evil person is responsible for his own evil.

²¹ “But the evil person might stop doing all the sins he has done. And he might obey all my rules and do what is fair and right. Then he will surely live. He will not die. ²² His sins will be forgotten. Now he does what is right. So he will live.
