and will heal their land.

shall have mercy.

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.
21 But if the wicked will turn
from all his sins that he hath committed,
and keep all my statutes,
and do that which is lawful and right,
he shall surely live,
he shall not die.
22 All his transgressions that he hath committed,
they shall not be mentioned unto him:
in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

and turneth away from all his transgressions
that he hath committed,
he shall surely live,
he shall not die.

in that he hath raised him from the dead.

is according to truth
against them which commit such things.

and doest the same,
that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches
of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering;
not knowing that the goodness of God
leadeth thee to repentance?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart
treasurest up unto thyself wrath
against the day of wrath and revelation
of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man
according to his deeds:
Romans 2:7-8
King James Version

in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
the earth also and the works that are therein
shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be
in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto
the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we,
according to his promise,
look for new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved,
seeing that ye look for such things,
be diligent that ye may be found of him
in peace,
without spot,
and blameless.

from whence thou art fallen,
