MATTHEW 19:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
And Jesus said to his disciples: truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. The teaching on wealth and the kingdom that follows the young man's departure: the rich person enters the kingdom only with difficulty. The difficulty is not economic but spiritual: wealth creates the illusion of self-sufficiency that closes the door on the dependence that the kingdom requires.
