Eze 18:4 Behold, all souls are ...

And Eze 18: 5-9 claims one who is righteous by works shall live. God's words, quoted, no less.

"5. So a man who is righteous and practices justice and righteousness,
6. And does not eat [offerings of meals] on the mountains, and does not lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel; neither defiles his fellow man's wife nor approaches a woman in her period of separation,
7. And wrongs no man; what has been pledged for a debt he returns; [he] has committed no robbery, gives his bread to the hungry, and clothes the naked with garments,
8. Does not lend on interest, nor does he take any increase on a loan, keeps his hand back from wrong, executes true judgment between man and man,
9. Has walked in My statutes, and has kept My ordinances to deal truly-he is a righteous man; he shall surely live, says the Lord God" [Tanach, Yechezkiel - Chapter 18]

Are we to believe now that this was not true because +Paul says none is righteous?

Did anyone live? No one follows the law.

And Paul is correct.
