Ezekiel 18:27-28
Context18:27 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 1 and turned from all the sins he had done, he will surely live; he will not die.
Revelation 22:12-14
Context22:12 (Look! I am coming soon,
and my reward is with me to pay 2 each one according to what he has done!
22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the first and the last,
the beginning and the end!) 3
22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes so they can have access 4 to the tree of life and can enter into the city by the gates.
[22:12] 2 tn The Greek term may be translated either “pay” or “pay back” and has something of a double meaning here. However, because of the mention of “wages” (“reward,” another wordplay with two meanings) in the previous clause, the translation “pay” for ἀποδοῦναι (apodounai) was used here.
[22:13] 3 sn These lines are parenthetical, forming an aside to the narrative. The speaker here is the Lord Jesus Christ himself rather than the narrator.
[22:14] 4 tn Grk “so that there will be to them authority over the tree of life.”
