Ezekiel 33:12-16
English Standard Version
12 (A)“And you, son of man, say to (B)your people, (C)The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him when he transgresses, (D)and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it when he turns from his wickedness, (E)and the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness[a] when he sins. 13 Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet (F)if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die. 14 Again, (G)though I say to the wicked, (H)‘You shall surely die,’ yet (I)if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right, 15 if the wicked (J)restores the pledge, (K)gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks (L)in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die. 16 (M)None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he shall surely live.

Ezekiel 33:12-16
New International Version
12 “Therefore, son of man, say to your people,(A) ‘If someone who is righteous disobeys, that person’s former righteousness will count for nothing. And if someone who is wicked repents, that person’s former wickedness will not bring condemnation. The righteous person who sins will not be allowed to live even though they were formerly righteous.’(B) 13 If I tell a righteous person that they will surely live, but then they trust in their righteousness and do evil, none of the righteous things that person has done will be remembered; they will die for the evil they have done.(C) 14 And if I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ but they then turn away from their sin and do what is just(D) and right— 15 if they give back what they took in pledge(E) for a loan, return what they have stolen,(F) follow the decrees that give life, and do no evil—that person will surely live; they will not die.(G) 16 None of the sins(H) that person has committed will be remembered against them. They have done what is just and right; they will surely live.(I)
