Ezekiel 18:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ A person will die because of their own sins. A child will not be guilty because of what their parent did. And a parent will not be guilty because of what their child did. The right things a godly person does will be added to their account. The wrong things a sinful person does will be charged against them.

²¹ “But suppose a sinful person turns away from all the sins they have committed. And they obey all my rules. They do what is fair and right. Then you can be sure they will live. They will not die. ²² None of the sins they have committed will be held against them. Because of the godly things they have done, they will live.
