Ezekiel 18:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² None of the sins they have committed will be held against them. Because of the godly things they have done, they will live. ²³ When sinful people die, it does not give me any joy,” announces the Lord and King. “But when they turn away from their sins and live, that makes me very happy.

²⁴ “Suppose a godly person stops doing what is right. And they sin. They do the same evil things a sinful person does. They do things I hate. Then they will not live. I will not remember any of the right things they have done. They have not been faithful to me. They have also committed many other sins. So they are guilty. They will die.
