Knowest

Jesus answered him, "What is written in the Law? What do you read there?"

for instruction and for testimony? Surely they are speaking like this because the truth hasn't dawned on them.

Jesus asked him, "Why ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to get into that life, you must keep the commandments."

"Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked him. "Nobody is good except for one God.

Therefore, God will not justify any human being by means of the actions prescribed by the Law, for through the Law comes the full knowledge of sin.

What should we say, then? Is the Law sinful? Of course not! In fact, I wouldn't have become aware of sin if it had not been for the Law. I wouldn't have known what it means to covet if the Law had not said, "You must not covet."

Do not commit

"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

""Honor your father and your mother, just as the LORD your God commanded you, so that you will live long and things will go well for you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

For the commandments, "You must not commit adultery; you must not murder; you must not steal; you must not covet," and every other commandment are summed up in this statement: "You must love your neighbor as yourself."

Certainly all who depend on the actions of the Law are under a curse. For it is written, "A curse on everyone who does not obey everything that is written in the Book of the Law!"

"Honor your father and mother"" (This is a very important commandment with a promise.)

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

Nevertheless, you are doing the right thing if you obey the royal Law in keeping with the Scripture, "You must love your neighbor as yourself."
