Lucas 10:27-28

This lawyer gave virtually the same answer that Jesus Himself gave to the same question on another occasion (Matthew 22:37-40; Mark 12:29-31). Jesus affirmed that the lawyer had answered correctly (Gr. orthos, from which we get the word "orthodox"). However, He proceeded to assure the lawyer that he needed wholehearted compliance with the law to gain eternal like, which is impossible. Jesus quoted the law to drive this point home (Leviticus 18:5).
