Ezekiel 33:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ Or, if I say to the wicked people, ‘You will surely die,’ they may stop sinning and do what is right and ·honest [just]. ¹⁵ For example, ·they [^Lthe wicked one] may ·return what somebody gave them as a promise to repay a loan [restore the pledge], or pay back what they stole. If they live by the ·rules [statutes] that give life and do not ·sin [do evil; practice iniquity], then they will surely live, and they will not die. ¹⁶ None of the sins they have committed will be ·held [^Lremembered] against them. They now do what is right and ·fair [just], so they will surely live.
