Exegesis
The sentence opens with the comparative predication eukopoteron gar estin {εὐκοπώτερον γάρ ἐστιν | eukopṓteron gár estin} “for it is easier,” where the neuter comparative adjective functions as a predicate with an implied subject, introducing a proverbial comparison.
In context — Luke 18:25
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God .
