Ezekiel 18:21-23

Good News Translation

²¹ “If someone evil stops sinning and keeps my laws, if he does what is right and good, he will not die; he will certainly live. ²² All his sins will be forgiven, and he will live, because he did what is right. ²³ Do you think I enjoy seeing evil people die?” asks the Sovereign Lord. “No, I would rather see them repent and live.
