Ezekiel 18:21
21 a“But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does bwhat is just and right, che shall surely live; he shall not die.Ezekiel 33:11
11Say to them, dAs I live, declares the Lord God, eI have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; fturn back, turn back from your evil ways, gfor why will you die, O house of Israel?Ezekiel 33:13
13Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet hif he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die.Jonah 2:5-10
5 iThe waters closed in over me jto take my life;the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped about my head
6at the roots of the mountains.
I went down to the land
whose bars closed upon me forever;
yet you brought up my life from the pit,
O Lord my God.
7When my life was fainting away,
I remembered the Lord,
kand my prayer came to you,
into your holy temple.
8 lThose who pay regard to vain idols
mforsake their hope of steadfast love.
9 nBut I with the voice of thanksgiving
will sacrifice to you;
what I have vowed I will pay.
oSalvation belongs to the Lord!”
10And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
Luke 13:3-5
3No, I tell you; but unless you prepent, you will all likewise perish. 4Or those eighteen on whom the tower in qSiloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? 5No, I tell you; but unless you rrepent, you will all likewise perish.”
