"Must You?"

R. Kent Hughes:
One hundred years after Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, a man approached the great church father Tertullian with a problem -- his business interests and Christianity conflicted. He ended by asking, "What can I do? I must live!" Tertullian replied, "Must you?"
From Hughes' commentary The Sermon on the Mount, page 74, cited here.
