“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.
You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.
The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.
You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.
“Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’”
All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
“There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.
