Luke 18:18–30

¹⁸And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? ¹⁹And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, even God. ²⁰Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother. ²¹And he said, All these things have I observed from my youth up. ²²And when Jesus heard it, he said unto him, One thing thou lackest yet: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. ²³But when he heard these things, he became exceeding sorrowful; for he was very rich. ²⁴And Jesus seeing him said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁵For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. ²⁶And they that heard it said, Then who can be saved? ²⁷But he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. ²⁸And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee. ²⁹And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, ³⁰who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life.
