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

20 The soul sinning, it shall die. The son shall not bear for the iniquity of the father, and the father shall not bear for the iniquity of the son: the justice of the just one shall be upon him, and the injustice of the unjust one shall be upon him. 21 And if the unjust one shall turn back from all his sins which he did, and he watched all my laws and did judgment and justice; living, he shall live; he shall not die. 22 All his transgressions which he did shall not be remembered to him: in his justice which he did he shall live.
