26:018:016 Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden
the pledge,
neither
hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread
to
the
hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
26:018:017 That hath taken off his hand from the poor,
that hath not
received
usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath
walked
in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of
his
father, he shall surely live.
26:018:018 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed,
spoiled his
brother
by violence, and did that which is not good among his
people,
lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
26:018:019 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear
the iniquity of the
father?
When the son hath done that which is lawful and right,
and
hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall
surely
live.
26:018:020 The soul that sinneth, it shall die.
The son shall not bear
the
iniquity of the father, neither 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
him.
26:018:021 But if the wicked will turn from all his
sins that he hath
committed,
and keep all my statutes, and do that which is
lawful
and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
26:018:022 All his transgressions that he hath committed,
they shall not
be
mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that
he hath done
he
shall live.
26:018:023 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked
should die? saith
the
Lord god: and not that he should return from
his ways, and
live?
26:018:024 But when the righteous turneth away from
his righteousness,
and
committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the
abominations
that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All
his
righteousness
that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his
trespass
that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath
sinned,
in them shall he die.
26:018:025 Yet ye say, The way of the lord is
not equal. Hear now, O
house
of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways
unequal?
26:018:026 When a righteous man turneth away from
his righteousness, and
committeth
iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that
he
hath done shall he die.
26:018:027 Again, when the wicked man turneth away
from his wickedness
that
he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and
right,
he shall save his soul alive.
26:018:028 Because he considereth, and turneth away
from all his
transgressions
that he hath committed, he shall surely live,
he
shall not die.
