Luke 18:28
26 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
