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 Diga-lhes: Juro pela minha vida, palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR, que não tenho prazer na morte dos ímpios, antes tenho prazer em que eles se desviem dos seus caminhos e vivam. Voltem! Voltem-se dos seus maus caminhos! Por que o seu povo haveria de morrer, ó nação de Israel?
12 “Por isso, filho do homem, diga aos seus compatriotas: A retidão do justo não o livrará se ele se voltar para a desobediência, e a maldade do ímpio não o fará cair se ele se desviar dela. E, se pecar, o justo não viverá por causa de sua justiça.
13 Se eu garantir ao justo que ele irá viver, mas ele, confiando em sua justiça, fizer o mal, de suas ações justas nada será lembrado; ele morrerá por causa do mal que fez.
14 E, se você disser ao ímpio: Certamente você morrerá, mas ele se desviar do seu pecado e fizer o que é justo e certo;
15 se ele devolver o que apanhou como penhor de um empréstimo, se devolver o que roubou, se agir segundo os decretos que dão vida e não fizer mal algum, é certo que viverá; não morrerá.
