But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.

Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.

And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

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

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

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

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
