All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live (18:22) Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live? (18:23) 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? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die (18:24) Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? (18:25) When a righteous [man] turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die (18:26) Again, when the wicked [man] turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive (18:27) Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die (18:28) Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? (18:29) Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn [yourselves] from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin (18:30) Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? (18:31) For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves], and live ye
(18:32)
