But he did not cause to die the sons of those who struck him, as it is written in the book of the Law of Moses that Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers not shall die for the sons, and the sons not shall die for the fathers, but each man shall die for his own sin.
The soul that sins, it shall die. A son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, and a father shall not bear the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous one shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked one shall be on him.
Though I say to the righteous one, Living he shall live, yet he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered, but he shall die for his iniquity which he has done.
When I say to the wicked one, O wicked one, dying you shall die! And you do not speak to warn the wicked one from his way, that wicked one shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood from your hand.
