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, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.

And, making answer, one of the Lawyers saith unto him, Teacher! these things, saying, us also, dost thou insult!

and one from among them, a lawyer, proposed a question, putting him to the test:

And a certain, ruler, questioned him, saying - Good Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit life age-abiding?

And lo! one coming near unto him, said, Teacher! what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-abiding?

and, leading them forth outside, said - Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?

For, if, by law, is the inheritance, it is, no longer, by promise; but, unto Abraham, through promise, hath God favoured it.
