Luke 18:18-25

Darby Translation

¹⁸ And a certain ruler asked him saying, Good teacher, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life?

¹⁹ But Jesus said to him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, God.

²⁰ Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

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

²² And when Jesus had heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking to thee yet: Sell all that thou hast and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens, and come, follow me.

²³ But when he heard this he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

²⁴ But when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, he said, How difficultly shall those who have riches enter into the kingdom of God;

²⁵ for it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
