  • Ezek 18:19-20 : 19 Yet you ask, ‘Why does the son not bear the guilt of his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and right, has carefully observed all my statutes, and has kept them, he will surely live. 20 The soul who sins will die. The son will not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them.
  • Ezek 18:30 : 30 Therefore, house of Israel, I will judge each of you according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall.
  • Ezek 33:11-20 : 11 Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from their ways and live. Turn back! Turn back from your evil ways! Why should you die, house of Israel?' 12 Therefore, son of man, say to your people, 'The righteousness of the righteous person will not save them on the day of their transgression, nor will the wickedness of the wicked person cause them to fall on the day they turn from their wickedness. The righteous person cannot live by their righteousness on the day they sin.' 13 If I say to the righteous person, 'You will surely live,' but they trust in their righteousness and commit iniquity, none of their righteous acts will be remembered. They will die because of the iniquity they have committed. 14 And if I say to the wicked person, 'You will surely die,' but they turn from their sin and do what is just and right— 15 if they return what they took in pledge for a loan, restore anything they have stolen, and follow the decrees that give life, doing no wrong—they will surely live; they will not die. 16 None of the sins they have committed will be remembered against them. They have done what is just and right; they will surely live. 17 Yet your people say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But it is their way that is not just. 18 If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits iniquity, they will die because of it. 19 But if a wicked person turns away from their wickedness and does what is just and right, they will live because of it. 20 Yet you say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But I will judge each of you according to your own ways, house of Israel.
  • Ezek 36:31-32 : 31 You will remember your evil ways and your wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your sins and detestable practices. 32 I am not doing this for your sake, declares the Lord GOD. Be ashamed and humiliated for your conduct, O house of Israel!
  • Rom 3:19 : 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
