- But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
- Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
- Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
- For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
