Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.	Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:	Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
