Matthew 19:29
He does not say they will receive many fathers instead of one, or many mothers instead of one, or many fields instead of few, but that the heavenly will surpass all earthly things with incomparable excellences, and what is being saved will be preferred to what is being lost (Matthew 19:29).
Greek
Οὐ πολλοὺς οὖν ἀνθ' ἑνὸς πατέρας ἢ πολλὰς ἀντὶ μιᾶς μητέρας ἢ ἀγροὺς ἀντὶ ὀλίγων πολλοὺς ἀπολήψεσθαί φησιν, ἀλλ' ὅτι τῶν ἐπι γείων ἁπάντων ἀσυγκρίτοις ὑπεροχαῖς ὑπερκείσεται τὰ οὐράνια καὶ τῶν ἀπολλυμένων ἔσται προτιμότερα τὰ σῳζόμενα.
