It Is Hard For The Rich To Enter. But All Who Leave Anything Will Inherit More
23 And Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you that a rich one will enter with-difficulty into the kingdom of the heavens. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier that a camel go through a hole of a needle[a] than[b] that a rich one enter into the kingdom of God”.
