The Hebrew prophet Ezekiel confirms that personal control is required if we are to merit God’s favor: “As for you, in case you have warned someone wicked and he does not actually turn back from his wickedness and from his wicked way, he himself for his error will die; but as for you, you will have delivered your own soul. ” — Ezekiel 3: 19.
Senebreju pravietis Ecēhiēls apstiprina, ka cilvēkam pašam jākontrolē sava rīcība, ja tas vēlas iegūt Dieva labvēlību. ” Kad tu bezdievi būsi pamācījis un viņš tomēr neatstājas no savas bezdievības un sava ļaunā ceļa, tad viņš nomirs savos grēkos, bet tu izglābsi savu dzīvību. ” ( Ecēhiēla 3: 19.)
