Ezekiel 18:21-24
Lexham English Bible
21 But if the wicked returns from all of his sins[a] that he has done and he keeps all of my statutes and he does justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die! 22 All of his transgressions that he committed will not be remembered against[b] him. Through[c] his righteousness that he has done he shall live. 23 Have I delight by any means[d] in the death of the wicked, declares[e] the Lord Yahweh, and not at his turning from his way, so that[f] he lives? 24 And when the righteous turns[g] from his righteousness, so that[h] he does injustice, and does all of the detestable things that the wicked do, then[i] will he live because of all of his righteousness[j] that he did? Those things will not be remembered because of his infidelity that he displayed, and because of his sin that he committed.[k] Through[l] them he shall die.
