EZEKIEL 18:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.”
If a righteous person turns away and commits all the abominations the wicked person does, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered but he shall die for the treachery and sin he commits. The reversal of righteousness demonstrates that moral status is not fixed or permanently secured; the righteous who subsequently chooses wickedness forfeits the protection of prior righteousness. Apostasy from righteousness carries the same lethal consequences as persistent wickedness.
