Luke 18:18-23

The Rich Ruler

18 ¹And a ruler asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to ²inherit eternal life?"

19 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

20 You know the commandments: ³'Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.'"

21 And he said, ⁴"All these I have kept from my youth."

22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. ⁵Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have ⁶treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."

23 ⁷But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich.
