Ezekiel 18:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Ezekiel 18:5
'But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right.' This begins the description of a righteous person. The Hebrew tsaddiyq ('just/righteous') describes one in right relationship with God through covenant faithfulness. The subsequent verses detail practical righteousness: avoiding idolatry, sexual sin, oppression, and practicing justice and mercy. This is not works-based salvation but the fruit of genuine faith.
