And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. {penny: in value seven pence halfpenny}

And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, {with} the statutes and judgments.

Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
