But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14	Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and those who find it are few in number. eternal life salvation
