New Testament

Ezekiel 18:12-16 New Living Translation (NLT)

12. oppresses the poor and helpless, steals from debtors by refusing to let them redeem their security, worships idols, commits detestable sins,

13. and lends money at excessive interest. Should such a sinful person live? No! He must die and must take full blame.

14. “But suppose that sinful son, in turn, has a son who sees his father’s wickedness and decides against that kind of life.

15. This son refuses to worship idols on the mountains and does not commit adultery.

16. He does not exploit the poor, but instead is fair to debtors and does not rob them. He gives food to the hungry and provides clothes for the needy.
