Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die.
But if a man is just and does what is lawful and right; if he has not eaten on the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defiled his neighbor’s wife, nor approached a woman during her impurity; if he has not oppressed anyone, but has restored to the debtor his pledge; has robbed no one by violence, but has given his bread to the hungry and covered the naked with clothing; if he has not exacted usury nor taken any increase, but has withdrawn his hand from iniquity and executed true judgment between man and man; if he has walked in My statutes and kept My judgments faithfully — He is just; He shall surely live!” says the Lord GOD.

No one can walk in God’s statues and keep his judgments faithfully.
If I’m wrong, please point this wonderful person out to me.
I’ll tell you what it says to me next time.
