^16 (A)So the last will be first, and the first last. ^(B)For^[a] many are called, but few chosen.”

^30 (A)But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

^14 (A)“For many are called, but few are chosen.”

^31 (A)But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

⁷ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents ^(A)than over ninety-nine ^[a]just persons who ^(B)need no repentance.

^28 (A)There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, ^(B)when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. ²⁹ They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. ^30 (C)And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”

^13 (B)“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.

²³ For ^(A)if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; ²⁴ for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. ²⁵ But ^(B)he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, ^(C)this one will be blessed in what he does.
