Luke 10:25-29 Later – look and consider! – a certain man versed in the Law (a lawyer and a legal theologian; a Torah expert) rose (or: stood) up, proceeding to put Him on trial and test Him out by saying, "Teacher, by doing what shall I proceed in inheriting eonian life (or: in what performing will I proceed to be enjoying an allotment of a life which has the character and qualities of the Age of Messiah and an age-enduring life)?"

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁵ Later – look and consider! – a certain man versed in the Law (a lawyer and a legal theologian; a Torah expert) rose (or: stood) up, proceeding to put Him on trial and test [Him] out by saying, "Teacher, by doing what shall I proceed in inheriting eonian life (or: in what performing will I proceed to be enjoying an allotment of a life which has the character and qualities of the Age [of Messiah] and an age-enduring life)?" ²⁶ So He said to him, "Within the Law, what has been written? How are you in the habit of reading [it] (or: How are you normally reading what stands written in the [Torah])?" ²⁷ Now making a discerning reply, the man said, "'You will be constantly loving [the] Lord [= Yahweh] your God from out of your whole (= entire) heart, and in union with your whole soul (or: within your entire self and soul-life), and in union with and in the midst of your whole (= entire) strength,’ and in union with and within your whole (= entire) mind (intellect; comprehension; understanding) ' – and 'your neighbor (the one close to you; your associate) as being yourself.'" [Deut. 6:4; Lev. 19:18] ²⁸ So He said to him, "With discernment you answered correctly. Be habitually doing this and you will continue living." ²⁹ Yet he, still wanting to justify himself (make himself 'right' [in the argument]; show himself to be righteous and on the right path; or: do himself justice), said to Jesus, "And so, who is my neighbor (associate; the one close to me)?"
