luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

luke 13:24 "Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

24. Strive--The word signifies to "contend" as for the mastery, to "struggle," expressive of the difficulty of being saved, as if one would have to force his way in.
strait gate--another figure of the same. (See on Mt 7:13, 14).
for many . . . will seek--"desire," that is, with a mere wish or slothful endeavor.
and shall not be able--because it must be made a life-and-death struggle.

luke 13:24 "Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
