Ezekiel 18:20-24

Ezekiel 18:20-24 TPT

It is the one who sins who will die. A child is not to bear his father’s guilt nor a father his child’s guilt. Good people will be credited for their own righteousness and the wicked with his own wickedness.” “However, if the wicked man renounces all the sins he has committed, obeys my laws, and does what is fair and upright, he will most certainly live and will not die. I will not remember any of the sins he committed in the past. Because he has done what is right, he will most certainly live. I, Lord YAHWEH, say: Do you think I enjoy seeing the wicked die? I would much rather see him renounce his sins and live! “However, if the righteous man abandons his righteous ways and acts wickedly, and follows all the despicable practices of the wicked, should he be allowed to live? None of his righteous deeds will be remembered from then on, for he is guilty of being unfaithful to me, and he will most certainly die.
