SCRIPTURE

"Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul." — Ezekiel 3:19 (ASV)

Yet if you warn the wicked Of his sin and danger; lay before him his evil, and show him the sad consequences of going on in a course of sin, and warn him to flee from wrath to come:

and he turn not from his wickedness, and from his wicked way ; does not repent of it, nor abstain from it:

he shall die in his iniquity ; and for it, and that very righteously:

but you have delivered your soul ; you have done the duty of your office; you are clear from the charge of negligence and sloth, and from being answerable for the death of the sinner; and shall save yourself, though not the wicked man; see (1 Timothy 4:16) .
