And when the righteous turneth from his righteousness and practiseth what is wrong, [and] doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous acts which he hath done shall be remembered: in his unfaithfulness which he hath wrought, and in his sin which he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
Ezekiel 18:22 None of his transgressions which he hath committed shall be remembered against him; in his righteousness which he hath done shall he live.
Ezekiel 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all in the death of the wicked? saith the Lord Jehovah; is it not in his turning from his way, that he may live?
Ezekiel 18:24 And when the righteous turneth from his righteousness and practiseth what is wrong, [and] doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked doeth, shall he live? None of his righteous acts which he hath done shall be remembered: in his unfaithfulness which he hath wrought, and in his sin which he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
Ezekiel 18:25 And ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear then, house of Israel. Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
Ezekiel 18:26 When the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and practiseth what is wrong, and dieth for it; in his wrong that he hath done shall he die.
The verse centers on "faith", "righteous", "turneth", "righteousness", "practiseth", "wrong", "doeth", and "abominations". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "faith" and "righteous", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 23's "Have I any pleasure at all in..." into verse 25's "And ye say The way of the...", so "faith" and "righteous" belong inside that flow. In Ezekiel context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "faith" and "righteous" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
