New Testament

Matthew 19:19-26 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

19. Honor your father and mother; and You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

20. The young man said to Him, "All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?"

21. Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

22. But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

23. And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

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

25. When the disciples heard this, they were very astonished and said, "Then who can be saved?"

26. And looking at them Jesus said to them, "With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
