easy street: the road to destruction [republished from December 2, 2011...]

I'd read the verse many times before...
but not the translation I read today.

Today it struck me in a different way...

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and

the road is easy that leads to destruction,

and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and

the road is hard that leads to life,

and there are few who find it.

Matthew 7:13-14 (emphasis added)

NRSV

I generally prefer easy...
but I may have to think twice and consider more carefully...
look down the road farther...

easy vs hard

Which way do you usually choose?
