7:14
-LCB- 54 -RCB- First , Thou must abhor his turning thee out of the way ; and thine own consenting thereunto : because this is to reject the counsel of God for the sake of the counsel of a Worldly Wiseman . The Lord says , `` Strive to enter in at the strait gate '' -LSB- Luke 13:24 -RSB- , the gate to which I sent thee ; for `` strait is the gate that leadeth unto life , and few there be that find it . '' -LSB- Matt . 7:14 -RSB- From this little wicket-gate , and from the way thereto , hath this wicked man turned thee , to the bringing of thee almost to destruction ; hate , therefore , his turning thee out of the way , and abhor thyself for hearkening to him . -LCB- 55 -RCB- Secondly , Thou must abhor his labouring to render the cross odious unto thee ; for thou art to prefer it `` before the treasures in Egypt . '' -LSB- Heb . 11:25,26 -RSB- Besides the King of glory hath told thee , that he that `` will save his life shall lose it . ''
