"The Whole Heart Proposal"

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength,
and with all thy mind;
and thy neighbour as thyself."

The Gospel of Luke

Chapter 10

25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,
saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest
thou?


27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.


28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do,
and thou shalt live.

29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who
is my neighbour?

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped
him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving
him half dead.

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way:
and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and
looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he
was:  and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil
and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to
an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence,
and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him;
and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will
repay thee.

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto
him that fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus
unto him,
Go, and do thou likewise.
