Sprinkle, Sprinkling:  Greek: rhantismos
"sprinkling," akin to A, is used of the "sprinkling" of the blood of Christ, in Hbr 12:24; 1Pe 1:2, an allusion to the use of the blood of sacrifices, appointed for Israel, typical of the sacrifice of Christ

 Jhn 10:9 ASV - I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and go out, and shall find pasture.      There is only one God and father of us all ,   he gave us his son Jesus for a pattern of salvation .   Jesus said he and the father are one if you see me you see the father .  I believe that to be spiritually and Literally ,  the word says that God was in Christ reconcilling the world unto himself .  Col 2:9 ASV - for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,  Jesus said he came in his fathers name .  The power and the authority, character and complete nature of his father .  Jesus came to show us the father and his great love .   Act 17:29 ASV - Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man.
Act 17:30 ASV - The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent:   The disciples said show us the father and we will be satisfied . Jesus said you see me you see the father I and the father are one .  
Act 17:31 ASV - inasmuch as he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.   The greatest of all things concerning Jesus the son of man was that he rose from the dead . That is you and I being dead in our sins Jhn 1:4 ASV - In him was life; and the life was the light of men.   By his ressurection he made it possiable for those that believe in his name  to resurrect  also ,  not only in this world but the world to come.

 John had to come first before Jesus , John brought repenteance and with out a repentent heart no man shall see God.  Luk 3:4 ASV - as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.        Straight:   Greek: euthus
"direct, straight, right," is translated "straight," figuratively, of the paths of the Lord, Mat 3:3; Mar 1:3; Luk 3:4; in Luk 3:5 of the rectification of the crooked, with reference to moral transformation; in Act 9:11, the name of a street in Damascus, still one of the principal thoroughfares.
Mat 7:13 ASV - Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby.

Narrow:    Greek: stenos
from a root sten--, seen in stenazo, "to groan," stenagmos, "groaning" (Eng., "stenography," lit., "narrow writing"), is used figuratively in Mat 7:13, 14, of the gate which provides the entrance to eternal life, "narrow" because it runs counter to natural inclinations, and "the way" is similarly characterized; so in Luk 13:24 (where the more intensive word agonizomai, "strive," is used); RV, "narrow" (AV, "strait") in each place. Cp. stenochoreo, "to be straitened," and stenochoria, "narrowness, anguish, distress."

in the Passive Voice, is rendered "suffereth violence" in Mat 11:12; see FORCE, B, Nos. 1 and 2. Some, e.g., Cremer (Lexicon) and Dalman (Words of Jesus, pp. 139, ff.), hold that the reference is to the antagonism of the enemies of the kingdom, but Luk 16:16 (Middle Voice: RV, "entereth violently") indicates the meaning as referring to those who make an effort to enter the kingdom in spite of violent   This is not perescution of the church its putting to death you flesh , getting on your croos and staying there until the work is done . Jessus said if any man will not take up his cross and follow me he is not worthy of me .
Afflict (-ed), Affliction:    straitened       Greek: thlibo
"to suffer affliction, to be troubled," has reference to sufferings due to the pressure of circumstances, or the antagonism of persons, 1Th 3:4; 2Th 1:6, 7; "straitened," in Mat 7:14 (RV); "throng," Mar 3:9; "afflicted," 2Cr 1:6; 7:5 (RV); 1Ti 5:10; Hbr 11:37; "pressed," 2Cr 4:8. Both the verb and the noun (see B, No. 4), when used of the present experience of believers, refer almost invariably to that which comes upon them from without.

John gave his life for this gospel , he entered in with much violence .  (Middle Voice: RV, "entereth violently") indicates the meaning as referring to those who make an effort to enter the kingdom in spite of violent opposition:   The flesh does not want to die it will fight to live ,  For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.  Our battle is spiritual not physcial .    1Co 15:42 ASV - So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1Co 15:43 ASV - it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
