- XII. How Completely
Will Sin And Sinners Be Destroyed?

the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that
sinneth, it shall die.
- 20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall
not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the
iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon
him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
- 21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he
hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful
and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
- 24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness,
and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations
that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that
he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath
trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he
die.

death.

God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the

- Ezekiel 18:
- 31 Cast away from you all your
transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart
and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye
