One said to him,“ Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,“ Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying,‘ Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you,‘ I don’t know you or where you come from.’Then you will begin to say,‘ We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’He will say,‘ I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”

For many are called, but few chosen.”

He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them,“ Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well- pleasing, and perfect will of God.

A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called“ The Holy Way”. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools shall not go there.

Then Jesus said to his disciples,“ If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it.

and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying,“ This is the way. Walk in it.”

I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice,

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.Remember the word that I said to you:‘ A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

“ Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.But at midnight there was a cry,‘ Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!’Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.The foolish said to the wise,‘ Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’But the wise answered, saying,‘ What if there isn’t enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.Afterward the other virgins also came, saying,‘ Lord, Lord, open to us.’But he answered,‘ Most certainly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

Yahweh says,“ Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths,‘ Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said,‘ We will not walk in it.’

Isaiah cries concerning Israel,“ If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;for He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth.”As Isaiah has said before,“ Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”

In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you— not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,that no one would be moved by these afflictions. For you know that we are appointed to this task.For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, and you know.For this cause I also, when I couldn’t stand it any longer, sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have been in vain.

He will say,“ Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling- block out of the way of my people.”

Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

Make the path of your feet level. Let all of your ways be established.Don’t turn to the right hand nor to the left. Remove your foot from evil.

They will put you out of the synagogues. Yes, the time comes that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.

So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”
