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

One of the jurists said to him, "Teacher, when you say this you are insulting us as well."

and one of them, a jurist, put a question in order to tempt him.

Then a ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what am I to do to inherit life eternal?"

Up came a man and said to him, "Teacher, what good deed must I do to gain life eternal?"

and brought them out (after securing the other prisoners). "Sirs," he said, "what must I do to be saved?"

If the Inheritance is due to law, it ceases to be due to promise. Now it was by a promise that God bestowed it on Abraham.
