²⁸ In the way of righteousness is life; In its path there is no death.

¹¹ Beloved, don't imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn't seen God.

⁷ Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

²⁹ If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of him.

¹¹ For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

¹² instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;

²² But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.

²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²¹ that as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

²⁰ The soul who sins, he shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.

²¹ But if the wicked turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

²² None of his transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him: in his righteousness that he has done he shall live.

²³ Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord Yahweh; and not rather that he should return from his way, and live?

²⁴ But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.

⁹ has walked in my statutes, and has kept my ordinances, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁹ He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.

¹⁶ The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.

¹¹ For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.

³⁵ For whoever finds me, finds life, And will obtain favor from Yahweh.

¹⁵ Behold, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil;
