Ezekiel 18:21-24

Christian Standard Bible

²¹ “But if the wicked person turns from all the sins he has committed,^(A) keeps all my statutes, and does what is just and right, he will certainly live; he will not die. ²² None of the transgressions he has committed will be held against him.^(B) He will live because of the righteousness he has practiced.^{(C) 23} Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked?” ^(D) This is the declaration of the Lord God. “Instead, don’t I take pleasure when he turns from his ways and lives? ²⁴ But when a righteous person turns from his righteousness^(E) and acts unjustly, committing the same detestable acts that the wicked do, will he live? None of the righteous acts he did will be remembered.^(F) He will die because of the treachery he has engaged in and the sin he has committed.
