Matthew 19:16-22

Williams(i) 16 And a man came up to Him and asked, "What is there good that I can do to possess eternal life?" 17 And He answered him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only One who is perfectly good. But if you want to get into that life, you must practice keeping the commandments." 18 He asked Him, "What sort of commandments?" Jesus answered, "You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not lie, 19 You must practice honoring your father and mother. And you must love your neighbor as you do yourself." 20 The young man said, "I have kept all these commandments; what more do I lack?" 21 Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell everything you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come back here and follow me." 22 And when the young man heard that, he went away in deep distress, for he owned a great deal of property.
