Good teacher what must I do to inherit eternal life?

The Rich Young Man
17As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before
him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
18"Why
do you call me good?"
Jesus answered. "No
one is good—except God alone. 19You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do
not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud,
honor your father and mother.'[a]"
20"Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy."
21Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One
thing you lack,
"he said. "
Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven. Then come, follow me."
22At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How
hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!"
24The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, "Children,
how hard it is[b] to enter the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
26The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be
saved?"
27Jesus looked at them and said, "With
man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."
28Peter said to him, "We have left everything to follow you!"
29"I
tell you the truth,"
Jesus replied, "no
one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or
fields for me and the gospel 30will fail to receive a hundred times as much in
this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—and
with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life. 31But many who
are first will be last, and the last first."
