Matthew 7 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

Narrow Gate

13 Enter ye by the narrow gate: because broad is the gate, and large is the way that leadeth to perdition, and many there be that enter by it.

14 How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: & few there are that find it!

Luke 13 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

Narrow Gate Many Seek, Few Enter

23 And a certain man said to him: Lord, be they few that are saved? But he said to them:

24 Strive to enter by the narrow gate: because many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able.

I Know You Not

25 But when the good-man of the house shall enter in, and shut the door, and you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying, Lord open to us: and he answering shall say to you, I know you not whence you are:

26 then you shall begin to say: We did eat before thee and drink, and in our streets didst thou teach.

27 And he shall say to you, I know you not whence you are, depart from me all ye workers of iniquity.

28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth: when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God, and you to be thrust out.

From East and West and North and South

29 And there shall come from the East and West & the North and the South; and shall sit down in the Kingdom of God.
