Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
And when someone who's been doing wrong decides to turn their life around and start doing what's right and good, they'll actually save their own life.
It's never too late to change your story, redemption is always possible when you choose what's right.
