Luke 13:24

The Narrow Door

And, he, said unto them - ²⁴ Be striving to enter through the narrow door; for, many, I say unto you, will seek to enter, and will not be able, - ²⁵ when once the householder shall rouse himself, and lock the door, and ye begin to stand, outside, and to knock at the door, saying - Lord! open to us; and he shall answer and say unto you - I know you not, whence ye are.
