“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
King James Version (KJV)
10:24 Jesus saith to them, Children - See how he softens the harsh truth, by the manner of delivering it! And yet without retracting or abating one tittle: How hard is it for them that trust in riches - Either for defence, or happiness, or deliverance from the thousand dangers that life is continually exposed to. That these cannot enter into God's glorious kingdom, is clear and undeniable: but it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man to have riches, and not trust in them. Therefore, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom.
It is easier for a camel to goe thorow the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
