Mateus 19

Jesus taught how difficult it is for rich people to let God rule their lives, but there are rewards for those who leave family and possessions for his sake.

23 Then Jesus said to us disciples, "Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people to decide to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their lives. 24 Note this also: It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is almost as difficult [HYP] for rich people to decide to let God rule their lives." 25 When we disciples heard this, we were astounded. We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him, "◄If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?►" [RHQ] 26 When Jesus heard us say that, he looked intently at us, and then he said to us, "Yes, it is impossible for people to save themselves. But God can save them, because God is able to do anything!"
