12 And this is how men bear the cross; no man can bear another’s cross.
13 Take up your cross and follow me through Christ into the path of true discipleship; this is the path that leads to life.
14 This way of life is called the pearl of greatest price, and he who finds it must put all he has beneath his feet.
15 Behold, a man found in a certain field the croppings of a wondrous mine of gold, and he went forth and sold his home and all he had and bought the field; then he rejoiced in wealth.
16 Now, there were present, scribes and Pharisees of wealth who loved their money, and their bonds and lands, and they laughed loud to scorn what Jesus said.
17 Then Jesus spoke to them and said, You are the men who justify yourselves in sight of men; God knows your wickedness of heart;
18 And you must know, O men, that whatsoever is revered and is exalted by the carnal mind, is an abomination in the sight of God.
19 And Jesus went his way, and as he went a young man ran and knelt down at his feet and said, Good master, tell me what to do that I may have eternal life.
20 And Jesus said, Why do you call me good? No one is truly good but God himself.
21 And God has said, If you would enter into life, keep the Commandments of the law.
