Jesus did not say that the rich man would be saved by giving away all his goods only that the would have treasure in heaven.I see another question.
(CLV) Mk 10:17
And at His going out into the road, lo! one certain rich man, running toward Him and falling on his knees before Him, inquired of Him, "Good Teacher! What shall I be doing that I should be enjoying the allotment of life eonian?"
(CLV) Mk 10:18
Now Jesus said to him, "Why are you terming Me good? No one is good except One, God.
(CLV) Mk 10:19
With the precepts you are acquainted: You should not be murdering. You should not be committing adultery. You should not be stealing. You should not be testifying falsely. You should not be cheating. `Be honoring your father and •mother.'"
(CLV) Mk 10:20
Now he averred to Him, "Teacher, all these I maintain from my youth."
(CLV) Mk 10:21
Now Jesus, looking at him, loves him, and said to him, "Still one thing you are wanting. Go. Whatever you have, sell, and be giving to the poor, and you will be having treasure in heaven. And hither! Follow Me, -picking up the cross."
Must we be saved to receive eternal life?
This is supposed to a a literal translation.
…..Greek is now, and has always been, the language of the Eastern Greek Orthodox church. Who, better than the native Greek speaking scholars who translated the “literal” Greek Eastern Orthodox Bible [EOB], know the correct meaning of Greek words?
EOB Mark 10:17-21
17 As Jesus was setting out on his journey, someone ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do in order to inherit eternal life?”
18 Jesus replied, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one: God. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’ ”
20 The man replied, “Teacher, I have observed all these things since my youth!”
21 Jesus looked at him and felt love for him. He then said, “You [still] lack one thing. If you want to be perfect, go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor. You will have a treasure in heaven! Then come and follow me, taking up the cross.”
