30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life."
30 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life."
30 will lose out. It will all come back multiplied many times over in your lifetime. And then the bonus of eternal life!"
30 who shall not receive many times more in this present time, and in the age to come eternal life."
30 will be repaid many times over in this life, and will have eternal life in the world to come."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 18:30
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.
