Ezekiel 18:21-24
New American Standard Bible
21 “But if the (A)wicked person turns from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall certainly live; he shall not die. 22 (B)All his offenses which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his (C)righteousness which he has practiced, he will live. 23 (D)Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares the Lord God, “[a]rather than that he would (E)turn from his ways and live?
24 “But when a righteous person (F)turns away from his righteousness, commits injustice and does according to all the abominations that the wicked person does, will he live? (G)All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his (H)treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die.

Ezekiel 18:21-24
American Standard Version
21 But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22 None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live? 24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
