New Century Version

Matthew 19:16-20 New Century Version (NCV)

16. A man came to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to have life forever?”

17. Jesus answered, “Why do you ask me about what is good? Only God is good. But if you want to have life forever, obey the commands.”

18. The man asked, “Which commands?”Jesus answered, “ ‘You must not murder anyone; you must not be guilty of adultery; you must not steal; you must not tell lies about your neighbor;

19. honor your father and mother; and love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ ”

20. The young man said, “I have obeyed all these things. What else do I need to do?”
