EZEKIEL 18:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.”
God's response asserts that the son has not borne his father's iniquity because the son has kept God's rules, walked in His statutes, and acted with moral integrity. The absolute refusal to hold the son accountable for paternal sins establishes the inviolable principle of individual accountability: each person stands alone before God for judgment based on his own moral choices. The son's righteousness absolves him of paternal culpability.
