Gewilde Bybelverse vanaf Ezekiel 18

Deel

I most certainly don’t want anyone to die! This is what the LORD God says. Change your ways, and live!

Only the one who sins will die. A child won’t bear a parent’s guilt, and a parent won’t bear a child’s guilt. Those who do right will be declared innocent, and the wicked will be declared guilty.

Abandon all of your repeated sins. Make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, house of Israel?

Do I take pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the LORD God. Certainly not! If they change their ways, they will live.

But if the wicked turn away from all the sins that they have committed, keep all my regulations, and act justly and responsibly, they will surely live and not die.

They follow my regulations, keep my case laws, and act faithfully. Such people are innocent, and they will live, proclaims the LORD God.
