But if the wicked person turns from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall certainly live; he shall not die. | But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. |
“Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares the Lord God, “rather than that he would turn from his ways and live?” | Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live? |

Repent and turn away from all your offenses, so that wrongdoing does not become a stumbling block to you. | Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin. |
“For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,” declares the Lord God. “Therefore, repent and live!” | For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live. |
