Ezekiel 18:5-9
Christian Standard Bible
5 “Suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right: 6 He does not eat at the mountain shrines[a](A) or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife(B) or approach a woman during her menstrual impurity.(C) 7 He doesn’t oppress anyone(D) but returns his collateral to the debtor.(E) He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry(F) and covers the naked with clothing. 8 He doesn’t lend at interest or for profit(G) but keeps his hand from injustice and carries out true justice between men.(H) 9 He follows my statutes and keeps my ordinances, acting faithfully. Such a person is righteous; he will certainly live.”(I) This is the declaration of the Lord God.

or have sexual relations with a woman during her period.(C)
