* And a certain ruler asked him , saying , Good Master , what shall I do to inherit eternal life ? * And Jesus said unto him , Why callest thou me good ? none is good , save one , that is , God . * 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 . * And he said , All these have I kept from my youth up . * Now when Jesus heard these things , he said unto him , Yet lackest thou one thing : sell all that thou hast , and distribute unto the poor , and thou shalt have treasure in heaven : and come , follow me . * And when he heard this , he was very sorrowful : for he was very rich . * And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful , he said , How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God ! * For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle 's eye , than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God . * And they that heard it said , Who then can be saved ? * And he said , The things which are impossible with men are possible with God . * Then Peter said , Lo , we have left all , and followed thee . * And he said unto them , Verily I say unto you , There is no man that hath left house , or parents , or brethren , or wife , or children , for the kingdom of God 's sake , * Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time , and in the world to come life everlasting .
