Ezekiel 33:11-13

New American Standard Bible

¹¹ Say to them, ‘^(A)As I live!’ declares the Lord ^[a]God, ‘I take ^(B)no pleasure at all in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked ^(C)turn from his way and live. ^(D)Turn back, turn back from your evil ways! Why then should you die, house of Israel?’ ¹² And you, son of man, say to ^[b]your fellow citizens, ‘The ^(E)righteousness of a righteous one will not save him on the day of his offense, and as for the wickedness of a wicked one, he will ^(F)not stumble because of it on the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous one will not be able to live ^[c]by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.’ ¹³ When I say to the righteous that he will certainly live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he ^(G)commits injustice, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but for that same injustice of his which he has committed he will die.
