For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

Fathers are not to be put to death for their children or children for their fathers: every man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.

And, truly, if I have been in error, the effect of my error is only on myself.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if your heart is full of pride, you only will have the pain of it.

The soul which does sin will be put to death: the son will not be made responsible for the evil-doing of the father, or the father for the evil-doing of the son; the righteousness of the upright will be on himself, and the evil-doing of the evil-doer on himself.

Who are you to make yourself a judge of another man's servant? it is to his master that he is responsible for good or bad. Yes, his place will be safe, because the Lord is able to keep him from falling.
