This English version of interlinear Greek / us to see the full text as literal, is so literal that does not use these expressions in Castilian but reading you will realize that you can find meaning even in this way.
some people have argued that the phrase "eye of a needle" no means a literal needle but a small door between the door bigger entrance to the city, implying ; and difficulty rather impossibility. To this point I lean on the Bible Dictionary Nelson (Nelson test in E-sword):
"expression Jesus used in Matthew 19:24 (see also Mk 10.25; Luke 18.25):" It is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. "Such language is very peculiar in Rabbinical writings, to denote something very unusual and very difficult. For example, in the Talmud appears twice the expression using an elephant instead of a camel, for something that is impossible. To the same end is represented also a camel dancing in a very small extent for grains. Some scholars interpret "the eye of a needle" as a reference to the narrow pedestrian gate, but there is no historical evidence to support this interpretation. As we see, are various interpretations for this term, but perhaps Jesus used a humorous comparison purpose to suggest the impossible: that a camel can in fact go through the eye of a needle.
When the disciples heard how "hard is this word," he asked, "Who then can be saved?" And Jesus said, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible" (Mt 19.25-26). Even the best man in the world can not get salvation because only he may receive as a gift from God. "

Then we see the response that Jesus gave in Matthew 19:25-26 that we are talking about failure, we have seen the exegetical context of this text, and it is clear this point.
Paul also writes:
(RV60) because the root of all evil is the love of money, which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
(JER) Because the root of all evil is the desire for money, and some, let go of it, they have erred in the faith and tormented with many sorrows.

I dwell on the Greek root of the phrase "love of money" because many people objected the word here means worship of money, have a altar, or an obsession, because associate the word love with the Greek root "agape" which is described by Paul as a denial to my own human interests by offering selfless devotion to please God and wanting the highest good of others. However, the word used here for "love of money" has a totally different meaning, see:
Strong's: φιλάργυρος filárguros; of G5384 and G696; who loves the silver (money), ie miser, miser- . see that this expression is formed by the union of two Greek words "edges" (φίλος edged prop. Dear, ie friend, act. Love, ie friendly (still as a noun, associate, neighbor, etc..) -friend. and arguros (silver money). As you can see by this definition "love of money" we interpret that what Paul was referring to is that even if you have a small wish about monetary gain, the same desire can lead you to ruin your integrity and be exposed to ; eternal damnation.
But not only this text indicates that we can also rely on the narrative that Christ did the rich fool where the rich clearly seeks the repose of his soul in his monetary achievements: "And tell my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years, rest, eat, drink, have fun. " But God said," You fool! This very night your soul, and now who will own what you have prepared? "(Luke 12:19-20 ) , but Christ said about wealth: not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal , ( Mat 6:19-20), and the apostles understood very well the message that Christ had given the impediment that represent wealth to reach the kingdom of heaven after all in the Sermon on the Mount said, turning his eyes to his disciples: Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. ( Luke 6:20), and although some say that he was being spiritual sense (because it is also well ), Santiago I walk with Christ by listening to his doctrine writes: my beloved brethren, listen: Is not God chosen the poor this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom He promised those who love him? ( Jas 2:5) ... Hear now, ye rich! weep and howl for your miseries coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.
Your gold and silver have rusted, the rust be a witness against you and consume your flesh like fire . It is in recent days that have accumulated treasures. (James 5:1-3), Peter also warned that the desire for wealth is a sign to identify false teachers: 2Pe 2:2 And many will follow their solutions, because of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words. On such a long time their condemnation has not been idle, and their damnation does not slumber. (2 Peter 2:2-3), The apostle Judas (not Judas Iscariot), writes about false prophets and teachers Balaam also quoted which is biblically known to follow the path of economic rewards: unto them! They have gone the way of Cain, and profits jumped into the error of Balaam and perished in Korah's rebellion. (Jud 1:11).
could still see the biblical examples of what Christ and the apostles taught about money and its effectiveness as a means to achieve eternal damnation.
Before I want to leave with the greatest examples of how effective it can be money and love to economic gains as a means to condemnation
Brothers, it was necessary to fulfill the Scripture that the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, , which was guide to those who arrested Jesus, and was numbered with us, and had part in this ministry.
this man with the reward of iniquity took a field, and falling headlong, he burst through the middle and all his bowels gushed out.
And it was known to all inhabitants of Jerusalem, , so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, which means field of blood. (Acts 1:16-19)
