Ezekiel 18:27-28
18:27 When a wicked person turns from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he will preserve his life.
18:28 Because he considered
and turned from all the sins he had done, he will surely live; he will not die.
Ezekiel 33:7-9
33:7 “As for you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you must warn them on my behalf.
33:8 When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you must certainly die,’ and you do not warn the wicked about his behavior, the wicked man will die for his iniquity, but I will hold you accountable for his death.
33:9 But if you warn the wicked man to change his behavior, and he refuses to change, he will die for his iniquity, but you have saved your own life.
Ezekiel 33:14-16
33:14 Suppose I say to the wicked, ‘You must certainly die,’ but he turns from his sin and does what is just and right.
33:15 He
returns what was taken in pledge, pays back what he has stolen, and follows the statutes that give life,
committing no iniquity. He will certainly live – he will not die.
33:16 None of the sins he has committed will be counted
against him. He has done what is just and right; he will certainly live.
Matthew 3:7-9
3:7 But when he saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
3:8 Therefore produce fruit that proves your repentance,
3:9 and don’t think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones!
Luke 3:7-9
3:7 So John said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
3:8 Therefore produce fruit that proves your repentance, and don’t begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you that God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones!
3:9 Even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
