²³ And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

²⁶ For you see God's design for you, my brothers, that he has not taken a great number of the wise after the flesh, not the strong, not the noble:

²⁴ And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!

⁵ And looking round on them he was angry, being sad because of their hard hearts; and he said to the man, Put out your hand. And he put it out, and his hand was made well.

¹¹ For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

⁴ O you who are false to God, do you not see that the friends of this world are not God's friends? Every man desiring to be a friend of this world makes himself a hater of God.

⁵ Give ear, my dear brothers; are not those who are poor in the things of this world marked out by God to have faith as their wealth, and for their heritage the kingdom which he has said he will give to those who have love for him?

⁵ Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

³² And on his looking round to see her who had done this thing,

²³ And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.

²⁴ And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.

²⁵ And the disciples, hearing this, were greatly surprised, saying, Who then may have salvation?

²⁶ And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.

³ And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.
