Ezekiel 18:23

God's Just Treatment Of Individuals, Both Righteous And Wicked

²² None of his transgressions which he hath committed shall be remembered against him; in his righteousness which he hath done shall he live. ²³ Have I any pleasure at all in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; is it not in his turning from his way, that he may live? ²⁴ And when the righteous turneth from his righteousness and practiseth what is wrong, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous acts which he hath done shall be remembered: in his unfaithfulness which he hath wrought, and in his sin which he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
