26 “‘When someone righteous abandons his righteousness and does what is wrong and dies because of it, he will die for his own wrongdoing.

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.+
