25And behold, a lawyer stood up, testing him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

26And he said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?”

27And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”

28And he said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”
