Matteo 19:19 In-Context

17 Ed egli gli disse: Perchè mi chiami buono? niuno è buono, se non un solo, cioè: Iddio. Ora, se tu vuoi entrar nella vita, osserva i comandamenti.

18 Colui gli disse: Quali? E Gesù disse: Questi: Non uccidere. Non commettere adulterio. Non rubare. Non dir falsa testimonianza.

19 Onora tuo padre e tua madre, ed ama il tuo prossimo come te stesso.

20 Quel giovane gli disse: Tutte queste cose ho osservate fin dalla mia giovanezza; che mi manca egli ancora?

21 Gesù gli disse: Se tu vuoi esser perfetto, va’, vendi ciò che tu hai, e donalo a’ poveri, e tu avrai un tesoro nel cielo; poi vieni, e seguitami.
