Ezekiel 18:8
He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
The just person is marked by three things: he does not lend to exploit another by usury nor take increase or extra gain, he withdraws his hand from wrongdoing, and he carries out true and fair judgment between one person and another. These marks belong to what it means to be just and to do what is lawful and right, which is to act in line with the law of the Lord: not to oppress anyone, to restore the pledge, to do no violence, to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and to walk in God's statutes and keep His judgments in order to deal truly. The life shaped by these deeds is the life that leads to life rather than death, for the just person shall surely live, as the Lord God promises.
All souls belong to God, the soul of the father and the soul of the son alike, so once children reach the years of accountability they are answerable for themselves and must cooperate with God in working out their own salvation. If parents command what breaks God's commandments, children must obey God rather than parents, yet without hatred toward parents. God will open a way for those who desire to do righteousness, so that they need not practice iniquity. The chapter warns that God sees unjust acts and decisions and holds people accountable for them, and those who oppress others cannot expect Him to excuse their course, for He will judge them.
Living rightly in this way means dealing honestly, repairing injury done to another's property, and being faithful in small matters as well as in great ones. The same moral traits are qualifications for those who serve in God's work.
