Luke 18:18-25

181A rulerG758 questionedG1905 Him, sayingG3004, “GoodG18 TeacherG1320, whatG5101 shall I doG4160 to inheritG2816 eternalG166 lifeG2222?”

19But JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “WhyG5101 do you callG3004 Me 2goodG18? NoG3762 oneG3762 is 3goodG18 exceptG1508 GodG2316 aloneG1520.

20You knowG3609 the commandmentsG1785, ‘4Do not commitG3431 adulteryG3431, Do not murderG5407, Do not stealG2813, Do not giveG5576 falseG5576 testimonyG5576, HonorG5091 your fatherG3962 and motherG3384.’”

21And he saidG3004, “AllG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 I have keptG5442 sinceG1537 my youthG3503.”

22NowG1161 when JesusG2424 heardG191 this, He saidG3004 to him, “OneG1520 thingG1520 you stillG2089 lackG3007; 5sellG4453 allG3956 that you possessG2192 and distributeG1239 the money to the poorG4434, and you will haveG2192 6treasureG2344 in heavenG3772; and comeG1204, followG190 Me.”

23But when he had heardG191 theseG3778 thingsG3778, he becameG1096 veryG4036 sadG4036, for he was extremelyG4970 wealthyG4145.

24And JesusG2424 lookedG3708 at him and saidG3004, “7HowG4459 hardG1423 it is for thoseG3588 who are wealthyG5536 to enterG1531 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316!

25For 8it is easierG2123 for a camelG2574 to 9goG1525 throughG1223 the eyeG5144 of a needleG956, thanG2228 for a richG4145 personG4145 to enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316!”
