Ezekiel 18:4-9
New King James Version
4 “Behold, all souls are (A)Mine;
The soul of the father
As well as the soul of the son is Mine;
(B)The soul who sins shall die.
5 But if a man is just
And does what is lawful and right;
6 (C)If he has not eaten [a]on the mountains,
Nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
Nor (D)defiled his neighbor’s wife,
Nor approached (E)a woman during her impurity;
7 If he has not (F)oppressed anyone,
But has restored to the debtor his (G)pledge;
Has robbed no one by violence,
But has (H)given his bread to the hungry
And covered the naked with (I)clothing;
8 If he has not [b]exacted (J)usury
Nor taken any increase,
But has withdrawn his hand from iniquity
And (K)executed true [c]judgment between man and man;
9 If he has walked in My statutes
And kept My judgments faithfully—
He is just;
He shall surely (L)live!”
Says the Lord God.

Ezekiel 18:4-9
New International Version
4 For everyone belongs to me, the parent as well as the child—both alike belong to me. The one who sins(A) is the one who will die.(B)
5 “Suppose there is a righteous man
who does what is just and right.
6 He does not eat at the mountain(C) shrines
or look to the idols(D) of Israel.
He does not defile his neighbor’s wife
or have sexual relations with a woman during her period.(E)
7 He does not oppress(F) anyone,
but returns what he took in pledge(G) for a loan.
He does not commit robbery(H)
but gives his food to the hungry(I)
and provides clothing for the naked.(J)
8 He does not lend to them at interest
or take a profit from them.(K)
He withholds his hand from doing wrong
and judges fairly(L) between two parties.
9 He follows my decrees(M)
and faithfully keeps my laws.
That man is righteous;(N)
he will surely live,(O)
declares the Sovereign Lord.
