"And if a man is just, and he accomplishes judgment and justice, "
— Ezekiel 18:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,”
“But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, ”
“But if a man is just, and does that which is lawful and right,”
““Suppose a man is righteous. He practices what is just and right,”
“And if a man be just, and do judgment and justice,”
“But if a man is upright, living rightly and doing righteousness,”
“But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,”
“Why is it that you circulate among yourselves this parable, as a proverb in the land of Israel, saying: ‘The fathers ate a bitter grape, and the teeth of the sons have been affected.’
As I live, says the Lord God, this parable shall no longer be a proverb for you in Israel.
Behold, all souls are mine. Just as the soul of the father is mine, so also is the soul of the son. The soul that sins, the same shall die.
And if a man is just, and he accomplishes judgment and justice,
and if he does not eat upon the mountains, nor lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, and if he has not violated the wife of his neighbor, nor approached a menstruating woman,
and if he has not grieved any man, but has restored the collateral to the debtor, if he has seized nothing by violence, has given his bread to the hungry, and has covered the naked with a garment,
if he has not lent upon usury, nor taken any increase, if he has averted his hand from iniquity, and has executed true judgment between man and man,
