Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous sins not, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also you have delivered your soul.

But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that does such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?

But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,

If he begets a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that does any one of these things,

And that does not any of those duties, but even has eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife,

Now, lo, if he begets a son, that sees all his father's sins which he has done, and considers, and does not the same,

Yet say you, Why? does not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he shall surely live.

But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All his righteousness that he has done shall not be remembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.

Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments, which if a man does, he shall even live by them.

But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man does, he shall even live by them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Does he not speak parables?

Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

Again, when I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die; if he turns from his sin, and does that which is lawful and right;

But if the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall live by it.
