Wherefore it is that He says, \u2018For say not that the way has been hid from me.\u2019 But by the way is meant the mode of life; for Moses says, 1393 \u2018Behold, I have set before thy face the way of life and the way of death.\u2019 And the Teacher spoke in harmony with this: 1394 \u2018Enter ye through the strait and narrow way, through which ye shall enter into life.\u2019 And somewhere else, when one asked Him, 1395 \u2018What shall I do to inherit eternal life?\u2019 He pointed out to him the commandments of the law.\nIsa. 40:26, 27.\n329:1393 329:1394\nMatt. 7:13, 14.\n329:1395\nLuke 18:18, Matt. 19:16, ff.","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII: Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter XVII","type":"page"}
