Man damages and destroys everything he touches, leaving a trail of pain and suffering in his wake. Verse 17 reflects not the lack of an inner sense of peace, but man’s tendency toward strife and conflict, whether between individuals or nations.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Romans 3:16, 17.
This signifies a great struggle against conflict. Entering through the narrow gate is difficult because of its cost in terms of human pride, because of the sinner’s natural love for sin, and because of the world’s and Satan’s opposition to the truth.
Commentary from the MacArthur study Bible, notes for Luke 13:24.
