Ezekiel 18:20

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

¹⁹ "Yet you keep asking, "Why wouldn't the son bear the punishment of his father's sin?' Because the son has done what was lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes and obeyed them, he's certainly going to live. ²⁰ The soul who sins dies. The son won't bear the punishment of his father's sin and the father won't bear the punishment of his son's sin. The righteous deeds of that righteous person will be attributed to him, while the wicked deeds of the wicked person will be charged against him. ²¹ But if the wicked person turns from all his sins, which he did and keeps my statutes, then he'll live. He won't die.
