Ezechiele 18:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 18:5

Ezechiele 18:5 In-Context

3 Com’è vero ch’io vivo, dice il Signore, l’Eterno, non avrete più occasione di dire questo proverbio in Israele.
4 Ecco, tutte le anime sono mie; è mia tanto l’anima del padre quanto quella del figliuolo; l’anima che pecca sarà quella che morrà.
5 Se uno è giusto e pratica l’equità e la giustizia,
6 se non mangia sui monti e non alza gli occhi verso gli idoli della casa d’Israele, se non contamina la moglie del suo prossimo, se non s’accosta a donna mentre è impura,
7 se non opprime alcuno, se rende al debitore il suo pegno, se non commette rapine, se dà il suo pane a chi ha fame e copre di vesti l’ignudo,
