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. | However, if the wicked renounce all of the sins that they have committed and keep all my statutes and do what is right and just, they shall surely live; they 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?” | Do I derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked? asks the Lord God. Would I not rather rejoice to see them turn away from their wickedness and live? |

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