Ezekiel 18:22

20 ^aThe soul who sins shall die. ^bThe son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. ^cThe righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, ^dand the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.

21 “But ^aif a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die.

22 ^aNone of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall ^blive.

23 ^aDo I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord God, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live?

24 “But ^awhen a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? ^bAll the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has committed, because of them he shall die.

25 “Yet you say, ^a‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ Hear now, O house of Israel, is it not My way which is fair, and your ways which are not fair?
