19:16
But , again , let me remind Mr. Newby that Christ has come since Solomon spoke , and surely Christ has done something for us . The other texts he quoted are easily explained . In Matt . 19:16 , 17 , Jesus was stating a primary truth , as all goodness comes from God , yet , he was trying to impress upon the young man that he , Jesus , was God . No man is good in and of himself . God must come in before he is good . God 's people are righteous , good .
