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 lawyers who had refused his baptism, frustrated God's purpose for themselves.

Hereupon one of the lawyers exclaimed, "But teacher, in saying such things you are also reproaching us also."

and one of them, a lawyer, tested him by asking a question.

A ruler put this question to him. "Good teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

But look! a certain man came up to him and asked, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

and brought them out, saying, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

For if the inheritance comes from law, it no longer comes from a promise; but God did give it as a free gift to Abraham by a promise.
