Luke 18:18-22 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

18. And a certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, by doing what will I inherit eternal life?”

19. And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

20. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’ ”

21. And he said, “All these I have observed from my youth.”

22. And when he heard this, Jesus said to him, “You still lack one thing: Sell all that you have, and distribute the proceeds to the poor—and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me.”
