them not for of such is the kingdom of God. (17)Verily I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he
shall not enter therein.

(18)And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, by doing what
shall I inherit eternal life? (19)Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou
me good? there is none good, but one, even God.

(20)Thou knowest the commandments, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou
shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false
witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. (21)Then he said, All these
things have I observed from my youth. (22)Then Jesus hearing this, said
to him, Yet one thing thou lackest: sell all whatsoever thou hast, and
