The Narrow and Wide Gates

¹³ “Enter through the narrow gate.^(A) 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.

⁶ The Lord our God said to us^(A) at Horeb,^(B) “You have stayed long enough^(C) at this mountain. ⁷ Break camp and advance into the hill country of the Amorites;^(D) go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah,^(E) in the mountains, in the western foothills, in the Negev^(F) and along the coast, to the land of the Canaanites^(G) and to Lebanon,^(H) as far as the great river, the Euphrates.^{(I) 8} See, I have given you this land^(J).^(K) Go in and take possession of the land the Lord swore^(L) he would give to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—and to their descendants after them.”
