EZEKIEL 18:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.”
When the wicked person turns away from wickedness and does what is lawful and right, he preserves his life through this transformation. The emphasis on the wicked person's agency in turning establishes repentance as volitional moral change rather than passive external forgiveness. Life flows naturally from righteous conduct regardless of prior wickedness.
