Luke 10:25

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God in regard to themselves, by not being immersed by him.

And one of the lawyers answered and said to him: Teacher, in saying these things, you reproach us also.

And one of them, who was a lawyer, asked him a question, that he might tempt him, saying:

And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

And behold, one came and said to him: Good teacher, what good thing must I do that I may have eternal life? He said to him:

and, having brought them out, he said: Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

For if the inheritance be by law, it is no longer by promise: but God bestowed it on Abraham by promise.
