"The person who ^(C1)sins will die. A ^(C2)son will not suffer the punishment for the father's guilt, nor will a father suffer the punishment for the son's guilt; the ^(C3)righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.

"But if the ^(C1)wicked person turns from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall certainly live; he shall not die.

"^(C1)All his offenses which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his ^(C2)righteousness which he has practiced, he will live.

"^(C1)Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked," declares the Lord GOD, "^(F1)rather than that he would ^(C2)turn from his ways and live?

"But when a righteous person ^(C1)turns away from his righteousness, commits injustice and does according to all the abominations that the wicked person does, will he live? ^(C2)All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his ^(C3)treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die.
