'Lawful' in the Bible

“But if a man is righteous (keeps the law) and practices justice and righteousness,

“Yet do you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the punishment for the father’s sin?’ When the son has practiced justice and righteousness and has kept all My statutes and has done them, he shall certainly live.

“But if the wicked man turns [away] from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall certainly live; he shall not die.

Again, when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness which he has committed and practices justice and righteousness, he will save his life.

But when I say to the wicked, ‘You will certainly die,’ and he turns from his sin and practices that which is just (fair) and right—

None of his sins that he has committed will be remembered against him. He has practiced that which is just (fair) and right; he will most certainly live.

But when a wicked man turns back from his wickedness and practices what is just (fair) and right, he will live because of it.
