The Narrow Way(C)
13 (D)“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 [a]Because narrow is the gate and [b]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Matthew 7:12-14
New International Version
12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,(A) for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.(B)
The Narrow and Wide Gates
13 “Enter through the narrow gate.(C) For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
2 Peter 2:20-22
New King James Version
20 For if, after they (A)have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are (B)again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. 21 For (C)it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: (D)“A dog returns to his own vomit,” and, “a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”
