When someone evil stops sinning and does what is right and good, he saves his life.

He realizes what he is doing and stops sinning, so he will certainly not die, but go on living.

"Now I, the Sovereign LORD, am telling you Israelites that I will judge each of you by what you have done. Turn away from all the evil you are doing, and don't let your sin destroy you.

Tell them that as surely as I, the Sovereign LORD, am the living God, I do not enjoy seeing sinners die. I would rather see them stop sinning and live. Israel, stop the evil you are doing. Why do you want to die?

I may promise life to someone good, but if he starts thinking that his past goodness is enough and begins to sin, I will not remember any of the good he did. He will die because of his sins.

for example, if he returns the security he took for a loan or gives back what he stole---if he stops sinning and follows the laws that give life, he will not die, but live.

In his suffering he became humble, turned to the LORD his God, and begged him for help.

God accepted Manasseh's prayer and answered it by letting him go back to Jerusalem and rule again. This convinced Manasseh that the LORD was God.

You will never succeed in life if you try to hide your sins. Confess them and give them up; then God will show mercy to you.

Wash yourselves clean. Stop all this evil that I see you doing. Yes, stop doing evil

The LORD says, "Now, let's settle the matter. You are stained red with sin, but I will wash you as clean as snow. Although your stains are deep red, you will be as white as wool.

But if you defy me, you are doomed to die. I, the LORD, have spoken."

Turn to the LORD and pray to him, now that he is near.

Let the wicked leave their way of life and change their way of thinking. Let them turn to the LORD, our God; he is merciful and quick to forgive.

and in his name the message about repentance and the forgiveness of sins must be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that he will forgive your sins. If you do,

You are to open their eyes and turn them from the darkness to the light and from the power of Satan to God, so that through their faith in me they will have their sins forgiven and receive their place among God's chosen people.'

First in Damascus and in Jerusalem and then in the whole country of Israel and among the Gentiles, I preached that they must repent of their sins and turn to God and do the things that would show they had repented.

even though in the past I spoke evil of him and persecuted and insulted him. But God was merciful to me because I did not yet have faith and so did not know what I was doing.

This is a true saying, to be completely accepted and believed: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I am the worst of them,

Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners! Purify your hearts, you hypocrites!

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Such a man obeys my commands and carefully keeps my laws. He is righteous, and he will live," says the Sovereign LORD.

I will put my spirit in you and will see to it that you follow my laws and keep all the commands I have given you.

I will bless you, because Abraham obeyed me and kept all my laws and commands."

May I perfectly obey your commandments and be spared the shame of defeat.

I have decided to obey your laws until the day I die.

They both lived good lives in God's sight and obeyed fully all the Lord's laws and commands.

My friends, what good is it for one of you to say that you have faith if your actions do not prove it? Can that faith save you?

So then, as the body without the spirit is dead, also faith without actions is dead.

"Suppose there is a truly good man, righteous and honest.

"But you ask, 'Why shouldn't the son suffer because of his father's sins?' The answer is that the son did what was right and good. He kept my laws and followed them carefully, and so he will certainly live.

When someone evil stops sinning and does what is right and good, he saves his life.

Happy are those whose lives are faultless, who live according to the law of the LORD.

But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have put to death their human nature with all its passions and desires.

For God has revealed his grace for the salvation of all people.

as we wait for the blessed Day we hope for, when the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ will appear.

He refuses to do evil and doesn't lend money for profit. He keeps my laws and obeys my commands. He will not die because of his father's sins, but he will certainly live.

He realizes what he is doing and stops sinning, so he will certainly not die, but go on living.

If you do warn a good man not to sin and he listens to you and doesn't sin, he will stay alive, and your life will also be spared."

For if you live according to your human nature, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death your sinful actions, you will live.
