Ezechiele 3:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 3:21

Nevertheless, if thou warn the righteous [man]
Every righteous man, that is so in a judgment of charity, whether truly righteous or not, which the event shows; who should be warned not to trust in their own righteousness, but to depend on the righteousness of Christ; that they be careful to maintain good works, to avoid sin, and live holy lives and conversations, as follows: that the righteous sin not;
not that there is any just man that does good, and sins not; the best of men are often sinning in thought, word, or deed; but he is to be warned that he does not continue in sin, and lead a sinful coups of life; which is contrary to his character, and to his faith in Christ for righteousness, which is attended with good works: and he doth not sin;
the warning and exhortation given him having so good an effect, through the power of divine grace, as to be a means of preserving him from a vain conversation: he shall surely live;
spiritually and comfortably now, and eternally hereafter: because he is warned;
that being a means, and with the divine blessing taking effect: also thou hast delivered thy soul; (See Gill on Ezekiel 3:19).

Ezechiele 3:21 In-Context

19 Ma quando tu avrai ammonito l’empio, s’egli non si converte dalla sua empietà, e dalla via sua malvagia, egli morrà per la sua iniquità, ma tu avrai scampata l’anima tua.
20 Parimente, se avviene che il giusto si storni dalla sua giustizia, e commetta iniquità; e che io gli ponga innanzi alcun intoppo; e ch’egli muoia, egli morrà nel suo peccato; perciocchè tu non l’avrai ammonito; e le sue opere giuste, ch’egli avrà fatte, non saran più ricordate; ma io ridomanderò il suo sangue dalla tua mano.
21 Ma quando tu avrai ammonito il giusto, ch’egli non pecchi, se egli non pecca, per certo egli viverà; perciocchè sarà stato ammonito; e tu avrai scampata l’anima tua.
22 Poi la mano del Signore fu quivi sopra me; ed egli mi disse: Levati, esci alla campagna, e quivi io parlerò teco.
23 Ed io mi levai, ed uscii alla campagna; ed ecco, quivi era ferma la gloria del Signore, simile alla gloria che io avea veduta in sul fiume Chebar; ed io caddi sopra la mia faccia.
