Ezekiel 18:21

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

²⁰ The soul which does sin will be put to death: the son will not be made responsible for the evil-doing of the father, or the father for the evil-doing of the son; the righteousness of the upright will be on himself, and the evil-doing of the evil-doer on himself. ²¹ But if the evil-doer, turning away from all the sins which he has done, keeps my rules and does what is ordered and right, life will certainly be his; death will not be his fate. ²² Not one of the sins which he has done will be kept in memory against him: in the righteousness which he has done he will have life.
