أُدْخُلُوا مِنَ البَابِ الضَّيِّق: لأَنَّهُ وَاسِعٌ البَاب ورَحْبٌ الطَّرِيقُ الَّذي يُؤَدِّي إِلى الهَلاك، وكَثِيرُون هُمُ الَّذينَ يَدْخُلُون مِنْهُ؛ ومَا أَضْيَقَ البَابَ وأَحْرَجَ الطَّرِيقَ الَّذي يُؤَدِّي إِلى الحَيَاة، وقَلِيلُونَ هُمُ الَّذينَ يَجِدُونَهُ
إنجيل القدّيس متّى07/من13حتى27: قالَ الربُّ يَسوع: «أُدْخُلُوا مِنَ البَابِ الضَّيِّق: لأَنَّهُ وَاسِعٌ البَاب ورَحْبٌ الطَّرِيقُ الَّذي يُؤَدِّي إِلى الهَلاك، وكَثِيرُون هُمُ الَّذينَ يَدْخُلُون مِنْهُ؛ ومَا أَضْيَقَ البَابَ وأَحْرَجَ الطَّرِيقَ الَّذي يُؤَدِّي إِلى الحَيَاة، وقَلِيلُونَ هُمُ الَّذينَ يَجِدُونَهُ. إِحْذَرُوا الأَنْبِيَاءَ الكَذَبةَ الَّذينَ يَأْتُونَكُم بِلِبَاسِ الحُمْلان، وهُمْ في بَاطنِهِم ذِئَابٌ خَاطِفَة. مِنْ ثِمَارِهِم تَعْرِفُونَهُم: هَلْ يُجْنَى مِنَ الشَّوْكِ عِنَب، أَو مِنَ العَوْسَجِ تِين؟ هكَذَا كُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ صَالِحَةٍ تُثْمِرُ ثِمَارًا جَيِّدَة. أَمَّا الشَّجَرَةُ الفَاسِدَةُ فَتُثْمِرُ ثِمَارًا رَدِيئَة. لا تَقْدِرُ شَجَرَةٌ صَالِحَةٌ أَنْ تُثْمِرَ ثِمَارًا رَدِيئَة، ولا شَجَرَةٌ فَاسِدَةٌ أَنْ تُثْمِرَ ثِمَارًا جَيِّدَة. كُلُّ شَجَرَةٍ لا تُثْمِرُ ثَمَرًا جَيِّدًا تُقْطَعُ وتُلْقَى في النَّار. فَمِنْ ثِمَارِهِم تَعْرِفُونَهُم. لَيْسَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَقُولُ لي: يَا رَبّ، يَا رَبّ! يَدْخُلُ مَلَكُوتَ السَّمَاوات، بَلْ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ مَشِيئَةَ أَبِي الَّذي في السَّمَاوَات. كَثِيرُون سَيَقُولُونَ لي في ذلِكَ اليَوْم: يَا رَبّ، يَا رَبّ! أَمَا بِٱسْمِكَ تَنَبَّأْنَا، وبِٱسْمِكَ أَخْرَجْنا الشَّيَاطِين، وبِٱسْمِكَ عَمِلْنَا كَثيرًا مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ القَدِيرَة؟ فَحِينَئِذٍ أُعْلِنُ لَهُم: مَا عَرَفْتُكُمُ البَتَّة. إِبْتَعِدُوا عَنِّي يَا فَاعِلِي الإِثْم! فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالي هذِهِ، ويَعْمَلُ بِهَا، يُشْبِهُ رَجُلاً حَكِيْمًا بَنَى بَيْتَهُ عَلى الصَّخْرَة. وهَطَلَتِ الأَمْطَار، وفَاضَتِ الأَنْهَار، وعَصَفَتِ الرِّيَاح، وصَدَمَتْ ذلِكَ البَيْت، فَلَمْ يَسْقُطْ، لأَنَّ أَسَاسَهُ بُنِيَ عَلى الصَّخْرَة. وكُلُّ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَقْوَالي هذِهِ، ولا يَعْمَلُ بِهَا، يُشْبِهُ رَجُلاً جَاهِلاً بَنَى بَيْتَهُ عَلى الرَّمْل. وهَطَلَتِ الأَمْطَار، وجَرَتِ الأَنْهَار، وعَصَفَتِ الرِّيَاح، وصَدَمَتْ ذلِكَ البَيْت، فَسَقَط، وكَانَ سُقُوطُهُ عَظِيْمًا.

The Narrow and Wide Gates
Matthew07/13-27: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
True and False Prophets
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
True and False Disciples
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
The Wise and Foolish Builders
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
