Ezekiel 18:21-23

EasyEnglish Bible

²¹ But a wicked person might turn away from the sins that he has been doing. He might decide to obey my laws and do things that are right and good. If he does that, he will certainly continue to live. He will not die as his punishment. ²² I would no longer say that he is guilty because of the sins that he has done. Instead, he will continue to live, because he has done things that are right. ²³ It does not make me happy when a wicked person dies. I want wicked people to stop doing wicked things. Then I am happy because they will continue to live. That is what the Almighty Lord says.
