Luke 18:20

SCRIPTURE

"Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother." — Luke 18:20 (ASV)

Jesus now addresses this standard of righteousness. The first step is a summary of several of the Ten Commandments, omitting the first few that relate to God and the final one about covetousness. The man, like Paul , has kept the letter of the law.
