^24 (A)“Strive ^(B)to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

²⁸ Then he said, ^(A)“Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,^[a] for ^(B)you have striven with God and ^(C)with men, and have prevailed.”

¹² For ^(A)we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against ^(B)the rulers, against the authorities, against ^(C)the cosmic powers over ^(D)this present darkness, against ^(E)the spiritual forces of evil ^(F)in the heavenly places.

³⁰ So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel,^[a] saying, “For ^(A)I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”

¹⁸ praying ^(A)at all times ^(B)in the Spirit, ^(C)with all prayer and supplication. To that end, ^(D)keep alert with all perseverance, making ^(E)supplication for all the saints,

^47 (A)The first man was from the earth, ^(B)a man of dust; ^(C)the second man is from heaven.

⁴⁴ And ^(A)being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.^[a]
