SCRIPTURE

"When the righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth therein; in his iniquity that he hath done shall he die." — Ezekiel 18:26 (ASV)

When a righteous [man] turneth away from his righteousness ,
&c.] This is repeated for the further confirmation of it, and to raise their attention to it; to make it more plain and manifest to them, and to fix it upon their minds: and committeth iniquity, and dies in them :
or, "he shall die for them" {m}; both for his turning away from his righteousness, and for his committing iniquity: for his iniquity that he has done shall he die ;
in both respects. This is repeated to denote the certainty of it.
