Ezekiel, 18

20. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

Versets liés à Ezekiel, 18:

Ezekiel 18 is a chapter that deals with personal responsibility before God and how he judges people according to his own actions, not for those of his parents or children. The chapter answers a common question at the time: "Why do parents suffer from their children's evils?" or "Why do children suffer from their parents' evils?" Ezekiel emphasizes that God's righteousness is individual and that each person is responsible for their own choices. Here are five verses related to the topics addressed in Ezekiel 18:

Deuteronomy 24:16: "Parents will not be killed instead of their children, nor their children instead of their parents; each one will be killed by their own sin." This verse highlights personal responsibility and individual justice before God.

Proverbs 22:8: "What sows wickedness shall sear evils; and with the rod of its own indignation will be extinguished." This verse talks about the consequences of bad choices and how they can affect one's life.

Galatians 6:7: "Do not deceive yourself, God is not mocked; for all that man sow will also reap." This verse highlights personal responsibility and the fact that each person will reap what he has sown.

James 1:14-15: "But each one is tempted, when attracted and sliced ​​by his own lust. Then, if there is concerted lust, gives birth to sin; and sin, being consummated, generates death." This verse talks about how temptations can lead to sin and spiritual death, and highlights the personal responsibility of resisting temptations.

Romans 14:12: "Thus, each of us will account for himself to God." This verse again highlights personal responsibility before God and how each person will account for their own actions.





“O sábio elogia a mulher forte dizendo: os seu dedos manejaram o fuso. A roca é o alvo dos seus desejos. Fie, portanto, cada dia um pouco. Puxe fio a fio até a execução e, infalivelmente, você chegará ao fim. Mas não tenha pressa, pois senão você poderá misturar o fio com os nós e embaraçar tudo.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
