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

20 The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him. 21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins which he has committed, and keep all My statutes, and do justice and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 22 All his transgressions that he has done, they shall not be mentioned to him; in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.
