Luke 18:18-25

Riverside(i) 18 One of the rulers asked him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit life eternal?" 19 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except one — God. 20 You know the commandments: Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not commit murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother." 21 He said, "All these I have kept from my boyhood up." 22 On hearing that, Jesus said to him, "You lack still one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven, and then come and follow me." 23 But he, on hearing this, became deeply sorrowful, for he was very rich. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, "With how much difficulty do those who have riches enter the kingdom of God! 25 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!"
