141. Chapter 18 [Ezekiel] 1, 2 It is said, If the fathers are evil their offspring also are evil; 2, 11 3, 4 but the offspring are not condemned on the father's account, but everyone on His own account. 2, 11 5-9 There are some of the offspring who do not commit evils, or act contrary to the goods and truths of the church, and these are saved. 2, 11 10-13 It is otherwise with the offspring who commit evils, or act contrary to the goods and truths of the church; these are condemned. 2, 11 14-17 But He who does not do this is saved, 11 18 although the fathers are condemned. 2 19, 20 Everyone is dealt with according to His deeds. 2 21-23 The impious man who is converted is saved, 2 24 while the pious man, if he becomes impious, is condemned. 2 25-29 Both are of Divine justice. 2 30-32 Exhortation to be converted, because the Lord wishes the salvation of all. 2
