New Testament
Luke 18:18-30
The Rich Young Ruler
18A certain ruler asked Jesus, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God. 20You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery. You shall not murder. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. Honor your father and mother.’”[]
21“I have kept all these since I was a child,” he said.
22When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
23But when the ruler heard these words, he became very sad, because he was very rich.
24When Jesus saw that the man became very sad, he said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God! 25In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26Those who heard this said, “Then who can be saved?”
27He replied, “What is impossible for people is possible for God.”
29He said to them, “Amen I tell you: Anyone who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30will most certainly receive many times more in this time and, in the age to come, eternal life.”
