1The Lord said:
2 or to charge interest. And he obeys all my laws and teachings. Such a man will live. His own father sinned, but this good man will not be put to death for the sins of his father.
18It is his father who will die for cheating and robbing and doing evil.
19You may wonder why a son isn't punished for the sins of his father. It is because the son does what is right and obeys my laws.
20Dt 24.16. Only those who sin will be put to death. Children won't suffer for the sins of their parents, and parents won't suffer for the sins of their children. Good people will be rewarded for what they do, and evil people will be punished for what they do.
21Suppose wicked people stop sinning and start obeying my laws and doing right. They won't be put to death.
22All their sins will be forgiven, and they will live because they did right.
23I, the Lord God, don't like to see wicked people die. I had much rather see them turn back from their sins and live.
24But when good people start sinning and doing disgusting things, will they live? No! All their good deeds will be forgotten, and they will be put to death because of their sins.
25You people of Israel accuse me of being unfair! But listen—I'm not unfair; you are!
26If good people start doing evil, they must be put to death, because they have sinned.
27And if wicked people start doing right, they will save themselves from punishment.
28They will think about what they've done and stop sinning, and so they won't be put to death.
29But you still say that I am unfair. You are the ones who have done wrong and are unfair!
30I will judge each of you for what you've done. So stop sinning, or else you will certainly be punished.
31Give up your evil ways and start thinking pure thoughts. And be faithful to me! Do you really want to be put to death for your sins?
32Ws 1.13. I, the Lord God, don't want to see that happen to anyone. So stop sinning and live!
