20 ^aAgain, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, ^band I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. ^cBecause you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, ^dand his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered, ^ebut his blood I will require at your hand.

Ezekiel 18:24

24 ^fBut when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and does injustice and does the same abominations that the wicked person does, shall he live? ^gNone of the righteous deeds that he has done shall be remembered; for ^hthe treachery of which he is guilty and the sin he has committed, for them he shall die.

Luke 18:9-14

The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

9 He also told this parable to some ⁱwho trusted ^jin themselves that they were righteous, ^kand treated others with contempt: 10 “Two men ^lwent up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, ^mstanding by himself, prayed ^{▼▼Or standing, prayed to himself} ^othus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 ^pI fast twice a week; ^qI give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, ^rstanding far off, ^swould not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but ^tbeat his breast, saying, ‘God, ^ube merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For ^veveryone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Romans 10:3

3 For, being ignorant of ^wthe righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

Philippians 3:9

9 and be found in him, not having ^xa righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but ^ythat which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—

Hebrews 10:38

38 ^zbut my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”

2 Peter 2:20-22

20 For if, ^aaafter they have escaped the defilements of the world ^abthrough the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, ^acthe last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For ^adit would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from ^aethe holy commandment delivered to them. 22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The ^afdog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
