2 Esdras 7:14 Context
12Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, full of sorrow and trauaile: they are but few and euill, full of perils, and very painefull. 13For the entrances of the elder world were wide and sure, and brought immortall fruit. 14If then they that liue, labour not to enter these strait and vaine things, they can neuer receiue those that are laide vp for them. 15Now therefore why disquietest thou thy selfe, seeing thou art but a corruptible man? and why art thou mooued, whereas thou art but mortall? 16Why hast thou not considered in thy minde this thing that is to come, rather then that which is present?
