Sir 17:20-24 To the penitent God provides a way back he encourages those who are losing hope and has chosen for them the lot of truth. Return to him and give up sin, pray to the LORD and make your offenses few Turn again to the Most High and away from your sin, hate intensely what he loathes, and know the justice and judgments of God, Stand firm in the way set before you, in prayer to the Most High God. Who in the nether world can glorify the Most High Dwell no longer in the error of the ungodly, but offer your praise before death. No more can the dead give praise than those who have never lived You who are alive and well shall praise and glorify God in his mercies.

Mk 10:17-27 "As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him,“Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” No one is good but God alone You know the commandments: you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.” He replied and said to him,“Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.”“You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” At that statement, his face fell and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.“How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply,“Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves“Then who can be saved?”“For men it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible"
