Jerusalem Talmud Makkot 3:12

משנה: כָּל חַייָבֵי כְרִיתוֹת שֶׁלָּקוּ נִפְטְרוּ יְדֵי כְרִיתָתָן שֶׁנֶאֱמַר וְנִקְלָה אָחִיךָ לְעֵינֶיךָ. מִשֶּׁלָּקָה הֲרֵי הוּא כְאָחִיךָ דִּבְרֵי רִבִּי חֲנַנְיָה בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל. וּמָה אִם הָעוֹבֵר עֲבֵירָה אַחַת נַפְשׁוֹ נִיטְלָה עָלֶיהָ. הָעוֹשֶׂה מִצְוָה אַחַת עַל אַחַת כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה שֶׁתִּינָּתֶן לוֹ נַפְשׁוֹ. רִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר מִמְּקוֹמוֹ הוּא לָמֵד שֶׁנֶאֱמַר וְנִכְרְתוּ הַנְּפָשׁוֹת הָעוֹשׂת מִקֶּרֶב עַמָּם. וְאוֹמֵר אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה אֹתָם הָאָדָם וָחַי בָּהֶם. הָא כָּל־הַיּוֹשֵׁב וְלֹא עָבַר עֲבֵירָה נוֹתְנִין לוֹ שָכָר כְּעוֹשֶׂה מִצְוָה. רִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בְּרִבִּי אוֹמֵר הֲרֵי הוּא אוֹמֵר רַק חֲזַק לְבִלְתִּי אֲכֹל הַדָּם כִּי הַדָּם הוּא הַנָּפֶשׁ. וּמָה אִם הַדָּם שֶׁנַּפְשׁוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם חָתָה מִמֶּנּוּ הַפּוֹרֵשׁ מִמֶּנּו מְקַבֵּל שָׂכָר. גָּזֵל וַעֲרָיוֹת שֶׁנַּפְשׁוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם מִתְאַוָּה לָהֶן וּמְחַמְּדָתָן הַפּוֹרֵשׁ מֵהֶן עַל אַחַת כַּמָּה וְכַמָּה שֶׁיִּזְכֶּה לוֹ וּלְדוֹרוֹתָיו וּלְדוֹרוֹת דּוֹרוֹתָיו עַד סוֹף כָל הַדּוֹרוֹת׃ MISHNAH: All those subject to extirpation are no longer liable to extirpation once they were flogged, as it is said, your brother would be despicable in your eyes⁶⁰Since Deuteronomy.25.3">Deut. 25:3 prohibits to degrade the criminal, the flogging must stop immediately.. After he was flogged, he is your brother⁶¹As your brother, he has part in the World to Come; Sanhedrin 10:1:1" href="/Jerusalem_Talmud_Sanhedrin.10.1.1">Mishnah Sanhedrin 10:1. Since extirpation implies denial of the World to Come, it is eliminated., the words of Rebbi Ḥanania ben Gamliel. And since one who commits a transgression may lose his soul because of it, if one fulfills a commandment certainly his soul shall be given to him. Rebbi Simeon says, from its place⁶²Leviticus.18">Lev. 18 ends (Leviticus.18.29">v. 29) with extirpation for transgressors but starts with assurances of Eternal Life for those who live by the Torah (Leviticus.18.5">v. 5). it can be inferred as it is written, the souls of the perpetrators will be extirpated, and it says, that a human shall do and live in them. Therefore, to anybody who quietly does not transgress a prohibition is given reward like somebody keeping the Commandments.
Rebbi Simeon ben Rebbi says, does it not say⁶³Deuteronomy.12.23">Deut. 12:23., only be strong not to eat blood, for blood is the life? Since one who desists from blood, from which a person recoils, receives reward, if one desists of robbery and sexual offenses, which a person desires and cherishes, certainly he should acquire the merit for himself, his descendants, and his descendants’ descendants to the end of all generations.
