The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the sons shall not be put to death for the fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin.

And it came to pass when the kingdom was established in his hand, that he killed his servants that had slain his father the king.

But he killed not the sons of those that had slain him; according as it is written in the book of the Law of Moses, as the Lord gave commandment, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, and the children shall not be put to death for the fathers; but everyone shall die for his own sins.

In those days they shall certainly not say, The fathers ate a sour grape, and the children's teeth were set on edge.

But everyone shall die in his own sin; and the teeth of him that eats the sour grape shall be set on edge.

For all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son, they are Mine: the soul that sins, it shall die.

But the soul that sins shall die; and the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, nor shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the iniquity of the transgressor shall be upon him.
