Ezequiel 33:13

Listen to Ezequiel 33:13
13 Quando eu disser ao justo que certamente viverá, e ele, confiando na sua justiça, praticar iniqüidade, nenhuma das suas obras de justiça será lembrada; mas na sua iniqüidade, que praticou, nessa morrerá.

Ezequiel 33:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 33:13

When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live,
&c.] A happy life, here and hereafter; an eternal life, and not die the second death: this must be understood, should he appear a truly righteous person; one that does not trust to his own righteousness, but to the righteousness of Christ, and lives by faith on that; looking for the hope of righteousness through it, and behaving agreeably to his character: but if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity;
as he will by trusting to it; if he trusts to it for acceptance with God, and justification in his sight, and thinks himself proof against all temptation to sin on account of it; and that he has righteousness enough to make amends for sins committed, or for other sins he may commit; and which he may venture upon through this false notion, and so be led on to an open course of sinning, and series of committing iniquity: all his righteousness shall not be remembered;
God will take no notice of it; it shall be of no avail to justify him from sin, and secure him from wrath; it will be as if it never had been: but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it;
an eternal death, which is the just wages of sin; from which a man's own righteousness can never deliver him, though the righteousness of Christ does deliver from it; see ( Proverbs 10:2 ) ( 11:4 ) .

Ezequiel 33:13 In-Context

11 Dize-lhes: Vivo eu, diz o Senhor Deus, que não tenho prazer na morte do ímpio, mas sim em que o ímpio se converta do seu caminho, e viva. Convertei-vos, convertei-vos dos vossos maus caminhos; pois, por que morrereis, ó casa de Israel?
12 Portanto tu, filho do homem, dize aos filhos do teu povo: A justiça do justo não o livrará no dia da sua transgressão; e, quanto � impiedade do ímpio, por ela não cairá ele no dia em que se converter da sua impiedade; nem o justo pela justiça poderá viver no dia em que pecar.
13 Quando eu disser ao justo que certamente viverá, e ele, confiando na sua justiça, praticar iniqüidade, nenhuma das suas obras de justiça será lembrada; mas na sua iniqüidade, que praticou, nessa morrerá.
14 Demais, quando eu também disser ao ímpio: Certamente morrerás; se ele se converter do seu pecado, e praticar a retidão
15 se esse ímpio, restituir o penhor, devolver o que ele tinha furtado, e andar nos estatutos da vida, não praticando a iniqüidade, certamente viverá, não morrerá.
