Ezekiel 18:21-24
World English Bible
21 “But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die. 22 None of his transgressions that he has committed will be remembered against him. In his righteousness that he has done, he shall live. 23 Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” says the Lord Yahweh; “and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?
24 “But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, should he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done will be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.

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.
