Matthew 19:16
Douay-Rheims
And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?
Augustine of Hippo (attributed)
(Gennadius, de Eccles. Dogm. 36.) It is good to distribute with discrimination to the poor; it is better, with resolve of following the Lord, to strip one’s self of all at once, and freed from anxiety to suffer want with Christ.
