Paul says good for you if you are struggling.
Jesus says stay on the straight and narrow.
PASSAGE OF THE DAY 84
āHypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brotherās eye.
Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Enter by the narrow gate; for wideĀ isĀ the gate and broadĀ isĀ the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
BecauseĀ narrowĀ isĀ the gate and difficultĀ isĀ the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."
Matthew 7: 5-14
