21 But if you have warned the righteous one not to sin, and he does not sin, he will surely keep alive because he was warned,+ and you will have saved your own life.”*

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.+

19 But when someone wicked turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and righteous, he will keep living for doing so.+

19 “Repent,+ therefore, and turn around+ so as to get your sins blotted out,+ so that seasons of refreshing may come from Jehovah himself+
