Pardon my Swalch Quote:
*And behold, look and see! Having come and approached, turned and drawn near to Him, a certain one said, “Teacher, Master and Instructor, you who teaches concerning the things of the Supreme One: which or what good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable thing may I do or perform, accomplish or execute, practise or bring about, undertake or create, keep or carry out, construct or establish, form or produce, appoint or ordain, celebrate or constitute so that and in order that I may have and hold, acquire and receive, own and possess eternal and never ending, everlasting and perpetual life and continued existence?” So He said to him, “Why and for what reason do you ask and beg, entreat and question, request, enquire and beseech me about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to that which is good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable? There is only One Who is and exists as good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, dependable and pure, virtuous and honourable. But nevertheless, if you want and wish, prefer and aim, intend, will and desire to enter and go into that life and continued existence of which you speak, keep and guard, hold on to and retain, attend to and maintain, keep an eye on and watch over, preserve and protect the charges and precepts, injunctions and prescribed rules, mandates and orders, regulations and commissions.” He, the man, says and teaches, maintains and affirms, directs and exhorts, advises and points out to Him, “Which ones?” And Yahushua* said to him, “‘You will not kill, slay or murder; you will not commit adultery, never having unlawful intercourse with someone else’s wife; you will not steal or cheat, deceive or beguile, secretly embezzle or craftily take away, subterfuge or treacherously whisper malicious rumours, clandestinely rob others of their possessions or smuggle and conceal goods; you will not bear false witness or give false testimony, commit perjury or attest untrue things; you will not defraud or rob, deprave or withhold, deny and refuse to give payment, value and honour, support, respect and revere your father* and your mother,’ * (from Ex 20:12-16; Deut 5:16-20) and ‘You shall dearly love and welcome, entertain, look fondly upon and cherish your neighbour with strong affection and highly esteem them with great favour, goodwill and benevolence, be loyal to and greatly adore them as, like and similar to the way you do yourself.’ * (from Lev 19:18) ” The young man says and teaches, maintains and affirms, directs and exhorts, advises and points out to Him, “All these individually and collectively I have kept and guarded, held on to and retained, attended to and maintained, kept an eye on and watched over, preserved and protected. Which and what then do I still and yet lack and miss, fail to reach and have come short of, fallen short of and have been excluded from?” Yahushua* said and affirmed, asserted and declared His thoughts to him, “If you want and wish, prefer and aim, intend, will and desire to be and exist as full and complete, perfect and whole, successful and developed, genuine and true, valid and established, go away and depart, withdraw and proceed on your journey and sell and exchange, give up and trade your possessions and wealth, goods and property, and give and grant, supply and furnish, bestow and deliver, commit and permit, extend and present them to the poor and needy, those lacking their necessities and so are dependent on others for support, and you shall have and hold, acquire and receive, own and possess treasure and valuables, wealth and riches within and inside the heavens, the abode of the Supreme One, and then come here, to this place, to accompany and follow after, obey and join yourself to Me.” But nevertheless, having heard and attended to, considered and understood, comprehended and perceived, paid attention to and listened to this word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter, the young man went off and departed, left and proceeded to go away, being grieved and pained, distressed and vexed, harassed and irritated, annoyed and afflicted, for the reason that he was and existed as one who had and held, acquired and received, owned and possessed many numerous and large amounts of acquisitions and possessions, property and wealth. So Yahushua* said to His disciples and followers, pupils and learners, apprentices and adherents, “Yes, truly this is a firm and reliable statement of truth: I say and teach, maintain and affirm, direct and exhort, advise and point out to you that concerning this, the rich and wealthy people abounding in materials and resources shall go and enter into the kingdom and royal power, dominion and rule, kingship, reign and authority of the heavens, the abode of the Supreme One with difficulty and will find it hard and troublesome. And again, anew and furthermore I say and teach, maintain and affirm, direct and exhort, advise and point out to you all: it is and exists as easier labour for a camel to go and pass, travel and journey through and via the eye and hole of a needle than for a rich and wealthy person abounding in materials and resources to go and enter into the kingdom and royal power, dominion and rule, kingship, reign and authority of God*.”
