New Testament

Matthew 19:19-24 English Standard Version (ESV)

19. Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

20. The young man said to him, “All these I have kept. What do I still lack?”

21. Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

22. When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

23. And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven.

24. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
