12 “And you, son of man, tell the sons of your people, ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him when he revolts;+ nor will the wickedness of the wicked man make him stumble when he turns away from his wickedness;+ nor will anyone righteous be able to keep living because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.+

18 “When someone righteous abandons his righteousness and does what is wrong, he must die for it.+

38 “But my righteous one will live by reason of faith,”+ and “if he shrinks back, I have* no pleasure in him.”+

8 Look out for yourselves, so that you do not lose the things we have worked to produce, but that you may obtain a full reward.+
