Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
…so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The soul who sins is the one who will die. A son will not bear the iniquity of his father, and a father will not bear the iniquity of his son. The righteousness of the righteous man will fall upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked man will fall upon him.
Genuine righteousness leads to life, but the pursuit of evil brings death.
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.
For whoever finds me finds life and obtains the favor of the LORD.
Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.
The labor of the righteous leads to life, but the gain of the wicked brings punishment.
If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, as well as death and disaster.
He follows My statutes and faithfully keeps My ordinances. That man is righteous; surely he will live, declares the Lord GOD.
But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.
