And you, son of man, say to ^[f]your fellow citizens, ‘The ^(s)righteousness of a righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression, and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he will ^(t)not stumble because of it in the day when he turns from his wickedness; whereas a righteous man will not be able to live ^[g]by his righteousness on the day when he commits sin.'

When I say to the righteous he will surely live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he ^(u)commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but in that same iniquity of his which he has committed he will die.

When the righteous turns from his righteousness and ^(aa)commits iniquity, then he shall die in ^[j]it.
