Ezechiele 18:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 18:21

But if the wicked
So far is the Lord from punishing the sins of one man upon another, that he will not punish a man for his own sins: if he will turn from all his sins that he hath committed:
if he truly repents of them, and thoroughly forsakes them; for it must not be one sin only, but all; every sin is to be loathed and mourned over, and sorrow expressed for it, and to be forsaken; not one sin is to cherished and retained, but all to be relinquished: or the repentance and conversion may be justly questioned whether they be sincere: and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right;
as the repentance and turning from sin must be general, so also obedience to the commands of God, both moral and positive; respect is to be had to all his ordinances, which are all of them to be esteemed as right and lawful, and to be observed: this is bringing forth fruits meet for repentance: he shall surely live, he shall not die;
he shall live in his own land, and not go into captivity. Kimchi's note is, he shall live in this world, and not die in the world to come; so Ben Melech.

Ezechiele 18:21 In-Context

19 Che se diceste: Perché il figliuolo non porta l’iniquità del padre? Egli è perché quel figliuolo pratica l’equità e la giustizia, osserva tutte le mie leggi e le mette ad effetto. Certamente egli vivrà.
20 L’anima che pecca è quella che morrà, il figliuolo non porterà l’iniquità del padre, e il padre non porterà l’iniquità del figliuolo, la giustizia del giusto sarà sul giusto, l’empietà dell’empio sarà sull’empio.
21 E se l’empio si ritrae da tutti i peccati che commetteva, se osserva tutte le mie leggi e pratica l’equità e la giustizia, egli certamente vivrà, non morrà.
22 Nessuna delle trasgressioni che ha commesse sarà più ricordata contro di lui; per la giustizia che pratica, egli vivrà.
23 Provo io forse piacere se l’empio muore? dice il Signore, l’Eterno. Non ne provo piuttosto quand’egli si converte dalle sue vie e vive?
