Judas answered, “It’s easy for many to be trapped by a few. In the sight of heaven, it makes no difference to win by many or by few.
And Judas said: It is an easy matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few: and there is no difference in the sight of the God of heaven to deliver with a great multitude, or with a small company:
It is not difficult, Judas answered, for a small group to overpower a large one. It makes no difference to the Lord whether we are rescued by many people or by just a few.
But Judas said: “Many are easily hemmed in by a few; in the sight of Heaven there is no difference between deliverance by many or by few;
But Judas replied, “It is easy for many to be defeated by a few. In the sight of Heaven, there is no distinction between deliverance by many and deliverance by a few.

Judas replied, ‘It is easy for many to be hemmed in by few, for in the sight of Heaven there is no difference between saving by many or by few.
Judas replied, “It is easy for many to be hemmed in by few, for in the sight of Heaven there is no difference between saving by many or by few.
Judas replied, “It is easy for many to be hemmed in by few, for in the sight of heaven there is no difference between saving by many or by few.
Judas replied, “It is easy for many to be hemmed in by few, for in the sight of Heaven there is no difference between saving by many or by few.
Judas replied, “It is easy for many to be hemmed in by few, for in the sight of Heaven there is no difference between saving by many or by few.
And Judas said, It is light, either easy, that many be closed (up) (al)together in (the) hand(s) of (a) few; and difference is not in (the) sight of God of heaven, for to deliver in (or with) many either in (or with) (a) few; [And Judas saith, It is light, or easy, many for to be closed together in hand of few; and difference is not in the sight of God of heaven, for to deliver in many or in few;]
