Ezekiel 18:23

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

²² None of his transgressions that he hath committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. ²³ Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live? ²⁴ But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he hath done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
