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

20 The soul that sinneth, she shall die. The son shall not bear part of the father's wickedness. The righteousness of the right shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him. 21 And yet the wicked, if he turn from all his sins which he did, and keep all mine ordinances, and do justly and righteously; he shall live and not die. 22 None of the sins that he hath done shall be reckoned unto him: In the righteousness that he hath done, he shall live.
