KJV ORIGINAL
But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
But what happens when someone who's been living right suddenly turns around and starts doing wrong? What if they start acting just like the people who never cared about doing good in the first place? Will they still make it? All the good things they used to do won't count anymore. They'll face the consequences for the wrong they've chosen to do — that's what will define them now.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Your past good deeds can't save you if you choose to walk away from what's right.
