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.
22 None of the offenses they have committed will be remembered against them. Because of the righteous things they have done, they will live.
22 None of the transgressions that he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness that he has done he shall live.
22 I won't keep a list of all the things he did wrong. He will live.
22 None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live.
22 All their past sins will be forgotten, and they will live because of the righteous things they have done.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 18:22
Commentary on Ezekiel 18:21-29
(Read Ezekiel 18:21-29)
The wicked man would be saved, if he turned from his evil ways. The true penitent is a true believer. None of his former transgressions shall be mentioned unto him, but in the righteousness which he has done, as the fruit of faith and the effect of conversion, he shall surely live. The question is not whether the truly righteous ever become apostates. It is certain that many who for a time were thought to be righteous, do so, while 28 is the beginning and progress of repentance. True believers watch and pray, and continue to the end, and they are saved. In all our disputes with God, he is in the right, and we are in the wrong.
