Because he considered ¹  and turned from all the sins he had done, he will surely live; he will not die.

None of the sins he has committed will be counted ¹  against him. He has done what is just and right; he will certainly live.

However, if you warn the righteous person not to sin, and he ¹  does not sin, he will certainly live because he was warned, and you will have saved your own life.”

“‘I passed by you and saw you kicking around helplessly in your blood. I said to you as you lay there in your blood, “Live!” I said to you as you lay there in your blood, “Live!” ¹ 

and follows my statutes and observes my regulations by carrying them out. ¹  That man ²  is righteous; he will certainly live, ³  declares the sovereign Lord.

refrains from wrongdoing, ¹  does not engage in usury or charge interest, carries out my regulations and follows my statutes. He will not die for his father’s iniquity; ²  he will surely live.

“But if the wicked person turns from all the sin he has committed and observes all my statutes and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die.

He ¹  returns what was taken in pledge, pays back what he has stolen, and follows the statutes that give life, ²  committing no iniquity. He will certainly live – he will not die.

None of the sins he has committed will be held ¹  against him; because of the righteousness he has done, he will live.

Do I actually delight in the death of the wicked, declares the sovereign Lord? Do I not prefer that he turn from his wicked conduct and live?

When a wicked person turns from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he will preserve his life.

For I take no delight in the death of anyone, ¹  declares the sovereign Lord. Repent and live!

I also gave ¹  them decrees ²  which were not good and regulations by which they could not live.

When the wicked turns from his sin and does what is just and right, he will live because of it.

He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said to him, “Sovereign Lord, you know.”

This is what the sovereign Lord says to these bones: Look, I am about to infuse breath ¹  into you and you will live.

and say ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Woe to those who sew bands ¹  on all their wrists ²  and make headbands ³  for heads of every size to entrap people’s lives! ⁴  Will you entrap my people’s lives, yet preserve your own lives?

You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. You have put to death people ¹  who should not die and kept alive those who should not live by your lies to my people, who listen to lies!

“Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not suffer ¹  for his father’s iniquity?’ When the son does what is just and right, and observes all my statutes and carries them out, he will surely live.

Suppose I tell the righteous that he will certainly live, but he becomes confident in his righteousness and commits iniquity. None of his righteous deeds will be remembered; because of the iniquity he has committed he will die.
