12 "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be put to death for his own sin. " (Deut. 24 : 16) "According to what is written in the law, in the book of Moses, where the Lord commanded, "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, or the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin. " (Chron. ii. 25: 4) "In those days they shall no longer say: 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge. ' But every one shall die for his own sin; each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge. " (Jer. 31: 29-30) "Behold, all souls are mine%; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine the soul that sins shall die. " (Ezek. 18: 4) "The soul that sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor, the father suffer for the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. But if a wicked man turns away from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None
