New Testament

Ezekiel 18:14-18 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. “Now suppose he has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed, and though he sees them, he does not do likewise.

15. He does not eat at the mountain shrines or raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.

16. He doesn’t oppress anyone, hold collateral, or commit robbery. He gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.

17. He keeps his hand from harming the poor, not taking interest or profit on a loan. He practices My ordinances and follows My statutes. Such a person will not die for his father’s iniquity. He will certainly live.

18. “As for his father, he will die for his own iniquity because he practiced fraud, robbed his brother, and did what was wrong among his people.
