25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
25 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.
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."
25 I'd say it's easier to thread a camel through a needle's eye than get a rich person into God's kingdom."
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 18:25
Commentary on Luke 18:18-30
(Read Luke 18:18-30)
Many have a great deal in them very commendable, yet perish for lack of some one thing; so this ruler could not bear Christ's terms, which would part between him and his estate. Many who are loth to leave Christ, yet do leave him. After a long struggle between their convictions and their corruptions, their corruptions carry the day. They are very sorry that they cannot serve both; but if one must be quitted, it shall be their God, not their wordly gain. Their boasted obedience will be found mere outside show; the love of the world in some form or other lies at the root. Men are apt to speak too much of what they have left and lost, of what they have done and suffered for Christ, as Peter did. But we should rather be ashamed that there has been any regret or difficulty in doing it.
