Ezekiel 18:21

---

← Ezekiel 18:20	Ezekiel 18:21 (KJV)	Ezekiel 18:22 →
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.	But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.	All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
