Letter 151
To the Same Person.
Narrow is the gate, and afflicted is the road that leads away to life, and few are those who find it [Matthew 7:14]. If, then, those who find it are few, fewer still would be those who have the strength to enter; and they have not entered because of their own negligence.

Latin / Greek Original
Στενὴ ἡ πύλη, καὶ τεθλιμμένη ἡ ὁδὸς ἡ ἀπάγουσα εἰς τὴν ζωήν, καὶ ὀλίγοι εἰσὶν οἱ εὑρίσκοντες αὐτήν. εἰ τοίνυν οἱ εὑρίσκοντες ὑπάρχουσιν ὀλίγοι, ὀλιγώτεροι ἂν εἶεν οἱ εἰσελθεῖν ἐξησχοῦντες· οὐκ εἰσελήθασι δὲ διὰ οἰκείαν ἀμέλειαν.
