²⁵ And a certain teacher of the law got up and put him to the test, saying, Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

¹⁸ And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

³⁴ But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together;

³⁵ And one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, testing him, and saying,

³⁶ Master, which is the chief rule in the law?

³⁷ And he said to him, Have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

³⁸ This is the first and greatest rule.

³⁹ And a second like it is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

³⁰ But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were against the purpose of God for themselves, not having had his baptism.)

¹⁶ And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life?

¹⁷ And he said to him, Why are you questioning me about what is good? One there is who is good: but if you have a desire to go into life, keep the rules of the law.

¹⁸ He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Do not put anyone to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness,

¹⁹ Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

⁴⁵ And one of the teachers of the law, answering, said to him, Master, in saying this, you give a bad name to us as to them.

⁴⁶ And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them.

³⁰ And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?

³¹ And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.

¹⁸ Because if the heritage is by the law, it is no longer dependent on the word of God; but God gave it to Abraham by his word.
