The Way to Heaven Is Hard^(A)

¹³ “Enter through the narrow gate. [^LBecause] The gate is wide and the road is ·wide [broad; spacious; or easy] that leads to ·hell [^Ldestruction; ruin], and many people enter through that gate. ¹⁴ But the gate is small and the road is ·narrow [or difficult; hard] that leads to true life. ·Only a few people [And there are few who] find that road.

²³ Someone said to Jesus, “Lord, will only a few people be saved?”

Jesus said, ²⁴ “·Try hard [Strive; Exert yourself] to enter through the narrow door, because many people [^LI tell you] will try to enter there, but they will not be able.
