Ezekiel 18:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴ “Suppose a godly person stops doing what is right. And they sin. They do the same evil things a sinful person does. They do things I hate. Then they will not live. I will not remember any of the right things they have done. They have not been faithful to me. They have also committed many other sins. So they are guilty. They will die.

²⁵ “But you say, ‘What the Lord does isn’t fair.’ Listen to me, you Israelites. What I do is always fair. What you do is not. ²⁶ Suppose a godly person stops doing what is right. And they sin. Then they will die because of it. They will die because of the sin they have committed.
