ગુજરાતીહઝકિયેલ ૧૮:૧૯
પણ તમે કહો છો “શા માટે પિતાનાં પાપોની શિક્ષા દીકરો ભોગવતો નથી?” જો દીકરાએ નેકીથી તથા પ્રમાણિકપણે મારા નિયમોનું પાલન કર્યું હશે, તે પ્રમાણે કર્યું હશે. તેથી તે નિશ્ચે જીવતો રહેશે.
हिन्दीयहेजकेल १८:१९
तो भी तुम लोग कहते हो, क्यों? क्या पुत्र पिता के अधर्म का भार नहीं उठाता? जब पुत्र ने न्याय और धर्म के काम किए हों, और मेरी सब विधियों का पालन कर उन पर चला हो, तो वह जीवित ही रहेगा।

In context

17who has withdrawn his hand from the poor, who hasn’t received interest or increase, has executed my ordinances, has walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father. He shall surely live.

18As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he will die in his iniquity.

19“Yet you say, ‘Why doesn’t the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he will surely live.

20The soul who sins, he 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 on him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be on him.

21“But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die.
