New Living Translation

Matthew 19:18-24 New Living Translation (NLT)

18. “Which ones?” the man asked.And Jesus replied: “‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely.

19. Honor your father and mother. Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

20. “I’ve obeyed all these commandments,” the young man replied. “What else must I do?”

21. Jesus told him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

22. But when the young man heard this, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.

23. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

24. I’ll say it again—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!”
