7:6 There is also another thing; A city is builded, and set upon a broad field, and is full of all good things:
7:7 The entrance thereof is narrow, and is set in a dangerous place to fall, like as if there were a fire on the right hand, and on the left a deep water:
7:8 And one only path between them both, even between the fire and the water, so small that there could but one man go there at once.
7:9 If this city now were given unto a man for an inheritance, if he never shall pass the danger set before it, how shall he receive this inheritance?
7:10 And I said, It is so, Lord. Then said he unto me, Even so also is Israel’s portion.
7:11 Because for their sakes I made the world: and when Adam transgressed my statutes, then was decreed that now is done.
7:12 Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, full of sorrow and travail: they are but few and evil, full of perils,: and very painful.
7:13 For the entrances of the elder world were wide and sure, and brought immortal fruit.
7:14 If then they that live labour not to enter these strait and vain things, they can never receive those that are laid up for them.
7:15 Now therefore why disquietest thou thyself, seeing thou art but a corruptible man? and why art thou moved, whereas thou art but mortal?
