Ezekiel 18:5-9 ▼

5 “Suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right:

6 He does not eat at the mountain shrines or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife or approach a woman during her menstrual impurity.

7 He doesn’t oppress anyone but returns his collateral to the debtor. He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.

8 He doesn’t lend at interest or for profit but keeps his hand from injustice and carries out true justice between men.

9 He follows my statutes and keeps my ordinances, acting faithfully. Such a person is righteous; he will certainly live.” This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.
