Matthew 7:14
But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.
Note TR reads “Because” instead of “How”
For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.
