25 A lawyer stood up to test him. He asked: »Teacher what shall I do to inherit everlasting life?«

26 He said: »What is written in the law? How do you read it?«

27 He answered: »Love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your life, with all your strength and with all your mind. Feelings and total existenceMight and total thinking capacity And you should love your neighbor as yourself.« (Deuteronomy 6:5) (Leviticus 19:18)

28 He told him: »You answered correctly, do this and you will live.«
