Ezekiel 18:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ “His father, because he cruelly oppressed and robbed his brother by violence, and has not done good among his people, lo, he dies in his iniquity.

¹⁹ “Yet you say, ‘Why shouldn’t the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ —because the son has executed judgment and justice and has kept all My Statutes and done them. He shall surely live.

²⁰ “The same soul that sins shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor 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 himself.
