The law of repentance....
Eze 18:5 "Suppose a man is righteous. He practices what is just and right,
Eze 18:6 does not eat pagan sacrifices on the mountains4 or pray to the idols5 of the house of Israel, does not defile his neighbor's wife, does not have sexual relations with a6 woman during her period,
Eze 18:7 does not oppress anyone, but gives the debtor back whatever was given in pledge,7 does not commit robbery,8 but gives his bread to the hungry and clothes the naked,
Eze 18:8 does not engage in usury or charge interest,9 but refrains10 from wrongdoing, promotes true justice11 between men,
Eze 18:9 and follows my statutes and observes my regulations by carrying them out.12 That man13 is righteous; he will certainly live,14 declares the sovereign LORD.
Eze 18:10 "Suppose such a man has15 a violent son who sheds blood and does any of these things16 mentioned previously
Eze 18:11 (though the father did not do any of them).17 He eats pagan sacrifices on the mountains,18 defiles his neighbor's wife,
Eze 18:12 oppresses the poor and the needy,19 commits robbery, does not give back what was given in pledge, prays to20 idols, performs abominable acts,
Eze 18:13 engages in usury and charges interest. Will he live? He will not! Because he has done all these abominable deeds he will certainly die.21 He will bear the responsibility for his own death.22
Eze 18:14 "But suppose he in turn has a son who notices all the sins his father commits, considers them, and does not follow his father's example.23
Eze 18:15 He does not eat pagan sacrifices on the mountains, does not pray to the idols of the house of Israel, does not defile his neighbor's wife,
Eze 18:16 does not oppress anyone or keep what has been given in pledge, does not commit robbery, gives his food to the hungry, and clothes the naked,
Eze 18:17 refrains from wrongdoing,24 does not engage in usury or charge interest, carries out my regulations and follows my statutes. He will not die for his father's iniquity;25 he will surely live.
Eze 18:18 As for his father, because he practices extortion, robs his brother, and does what is not good among his people, he will die for his iniquity.
Eze 18:19 "Yet you say, 'Why should the son not suffer26 for his father's iniquity?' When the son does what is just and right, and observes all my statutes and carries them out, he will surely live.
Eze 18:20 The person who sins is the one who will die. A son will not suffer27 for his father's iniquity, and a father will not suffer28 for his son's iniquity; the righteous person will be judged according to his righteousness, and the wicked person according to his wickedness.29
Eze 18:21 "But if the wicked person turns from all the sin he has committed and observes all my statutes and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die.
Eze 18:22 None of the sins he has committed will be held30 against him; because of the righteousness he has done, he will live.
Eze 18:23 Do I actually delight in the death of the wicked, declares the sovereign LORD? Do I not prefer that he turn from his wicked conduct and live?
Eze 18:24 "But if a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and practices wrongdoing according to all the abominable practices the wicked carry out, will he live? All his righteous acts will not be remembered; because of the unfaithful acts he has done and the sin he has committed, he will die.31
continued in the NT
1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.
