人子啊，你要对本国的百姓说：义人的义，在他犯罪之日不能救他；至于恶人的恶，在他转离恶行之日不会使他倾倒；义人在他犯罪之日不能因自己的义存活。

人子啊，你要对你的同胞说，‘当义人犯罪时，他以往的义救不了他；当恶人悔改时，他以往的恶不会使他灭没。义人若犯罪，他以往的义不能使他存活。’

人子歟、謂爾民族曰、義人干罪之日、其義不能救之、惡人去惡之日、其惡不能隕之、義人干罪之日、不能藉其義而得生、

人子、當告民云、如善人陷罪、不因前善而獲救、惡人悛改、不因舊惡而殞亡、

惟爾人子歟、當告爾民曰、善人若有時犯罪、其前善不能救之、惡人若悔改其惡、其前惡不能害之、善人獲罪之日、不能恃其前善以得生、

“ Therefore, son of man, say to your people,‘ If someone who is righteous disobeys, that person’s former righteousness will count for nothing. And if someone who is wicked repents, that person’s former wickedness will not bring condemnation. The righteous person who sins will not be allowed to live even though they were formerly righteous.’

“ Son of man, speak to your people. Tell them,‘ Suppose a godly person does not obey the Lord. Then the right things that person has done in the past count for nothing. Suppose a sinful person turns away from doing wrong things. Then the wrong things that person has done in the past won’t bring them judgment. A godly person who sins won’t be allowed to live. That’s true even though they used to do right things.’

“ And you, son of man, say to your people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him when he transgresses, and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall by it when he turns from his wickedness, and the righteous shall not be able to live by his righteousness when he sins.

“ Son of man, give your people this message: The righteous behavior of righteous people will not save them if they turn to sin, nor will the wicked behavior of wicked people destroy them if they repent and turn from their sins.

“ Now, son of man, say to your people,‘ The righteousness of the righteous person will not save him on the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked person cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. The righteous person won’t be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.

And you, son of man, say to your fellow citizens,‘ The righteousness of a righteous one will not save him on the day of his offense, and as for the wickedness of a wicked one, he will not stumble because of it on the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous one will not be able to live by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.’

“ Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people:‘ The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.’

And thou, son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall he that is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sinneth.

“ Now, son of man, say to your people: The righteousness of the righteous person will not save him on the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked person cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. The righteous person won’t be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.

Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his[ righteousness] in the day that he sinneth.

“ And you, son of man, say to your people,‘ The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him if he rebels. As for the wicked, his wickedness will not make him stumble if he turns from it. The righteous will not be able to live by his righteousness if he sins.’

“ You, son of man, tell the children of your people,‘ The righteousness of the righteous will not deliver him in the day of his disobedience. And as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will not fall by it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither will he who is righteous be able to live by it in the day that he sins.

义人若离开他的义，去行恶事，他就必因此死亡；恶人若离开他的恶，去行公平和正直的事，他就必因此存活。

这称为我名下的子民，若是谦卑、祷告、寻求我的面，转离他们的恶行，我必从天上垂听，赦免他们的罪，医治他们的地。

神设立了耶稣为赎罪祭（“赎罪祭”直译作“赎罪或使神息怒之法”），是凭着他的血，藉着人的信，为的是要显明神的义；因为神用忍耐的心宽容了人从前所犯的罪，

我的孩子们，我写这些给你们，是要你们不犯罪。如果有人犯了罪，在父的面前我们有一位维护者，就是那义者耶稣基督。

“义人若转离他的义去行恶，照着恶人所行一切可憎的事而行，他能存活吗？他所行的一切义都不会被记念；他必因他所行不忠的事和他所犯的罪而灭亡。“你们还说：‘主所行的不公平。’以色列家啊，你们要听！我所行的哪里不公平呢？岂不是你们所行的不公平吗？义人若转离他的义去行恶，他就必因此灭亡；他必因着他所行的不义灭亡。还有，恶人若回转离开他所行的恶，行正直公义的事，他就可以使自己的性命存活。因为他思量了，就转离他所犯的一切罪过，所以他必然存活，不致灭亡。但以色列家还说：‘主所行的不公平。’以色列家啊，我所行的哪里不公平呢？岂不是你们所行的不公平吗？“因此，以色列家啊，我必照着你们各人所行的审判你们。你们回转吧！离开你们的一切罪过吧！免得罪孽成为你们的绊脚石。这是主耶和华的宣告。你们要把你们所犯的一切罪过弃掉，为自己造一个新的心和新的灵。以色列家啊，你们为什么要灭亡呢？“我不喜悦任何人灭亡，所以你们要回转，得以存活。这是主耶和华的宣告。”

“恶人若回转，离开他所犯的一切罪，谨守我的一切律例，行正直和公义的事，就必存活，不致灭亡。

“人子啊！你要告诉你本国的人，说：‘我使刀剑临到一地，那地的人民从他们中间选出一个人，作他们的守望者；

如果他们在俘掳他们的仇敌的地方，一心一意回转归向你，又向着你赐给他们列祖的地方，向你所拣选的这城，和我为你的名建造的这殿祷告，求你在天上你的居所垂听他们的祷告和恳求，为他们主持公道。赦免得罪了你的子民，又赦免他们冒犯你的一切过犯，使他们在掳他们的人面前蒙怜悯。

如果义人偏离正义，行事邪恶，我必把绊脚石放在他面前，他必定死亡；因为你没有警告他，他必因自己的罪死亡。他素常所行的义，也必不被记念。但我要因他的死追究你。如果你警告义人不要犯罪，他就不犯罪。他因为接受警告，就必存活，你也救了自己的性命。”

“你们认为怎样？有一个人，他有两个儿子。他去对大儿子说：‘孩子，你今天到葡萄园去工作吧。’他说：‘我不想去。’但后来他改变主意，就去了。父亲又照样去吩咐小儿子。小儿子说：‘父亲，我会去的。’后来却没有去。这两个儿子，哪一个听父亲的话呢？”他们说：“大儿子。”耶稣对他们说：“我实在告诉你们：税吏和娼妓比你们先进神的国。
