Luke 18:25


← Luke 18:24 [words of Jesus] Luke 18:25 (KJV) [words of Jesus] Luke 18:26 →
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
