Ezekiel 18:21-24

Evangelical Heritage Version

²¹ A wicked man, if he turns away from^[a] all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and carries out justice and righteousness, he will surely live. He will not die. ²² All of the rebellious acts that he had committed will not be remembered against him. Because of his righteousness that he has practiced, he will live. ²³ Do I really find any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord God. Don’t I want him to turn from his ways and live?

²⁴ But if a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and does what is unrighteous—namely, all the abominations that the wicked man practices—will he live? All the righteous deeds that he did will not be remembered. Because he added one infidelity to another and because of the sins that he has committed, because of them, he will die.
