 When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and dies because of it, for his iniquity which he has committed, he will die. Again, when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness which he has committed and practices justice and righteousness, he will save his life. Why? Because, verse 28, he considered and turned away from all his transgressions which he had committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
