Luke 16:22-28

22NowG1161 the poorG4434 manG4434 diedG599 and was carriedG667 awayG667 by the angelsG32 to 1Abraham’sG11 bosomG2859; and the richG4145 manG4145 alsoG2532 diedG599 and was buriedG2290.

23In 2HadesG86 he liftedG1869 up his eyesG3788, beingG5225 in tormentG931, and sawG3708 AbrahamG11 farG3113 awayG575G3113 and LazarusG2976 in his bosomG2859.

24And he criedG5455 out and saidG3004, ‘3FatherG3962 AbrahamG11, haveG1653 mercyG1653 on me, and sendG3992 LazarusG2976 soG2443 that he may dipG911 the tipG206 of his fingerG1147 in waterG5204 and coolG2711 off my tongueG1100, for I amG3600 in agonyG3600 in 4thisG3778 flameG5395.’

25But AbrahamG11 saidG3004, ‘ChildG5043, rememberG3403 that 5duringG1722 your lifeG2222 you receivedG618 your goodG18 thingsG18, and likewiseG3668 LazarusG2976 badG2556 thingsG2556; but nowG3568 he is being comfortedG3870 hereG5602, and you are in agonyG3600.

26And 6besidesG1722 allG3956 thisG3778, betweenG3342 us and you there is a greatG3173 chasmG5490 fixedG4741, soG3704 that thoseG3588 who wishG2309 to comeG1224 overG1224 from hereG1759 to you will not be ableG1410, and that noneG3366 may crossG1276 overG1276 from thereG1564 to us.’

27And he saidG3004, ‘ThenG3767 I begG2065 you, fatherG3962, that you sendG3992 him to my father’sG3962 houseG3624--

28for I haveG2192 fiveG4002 brothersG80--in orderG3704 that he may 7warnG1263 them, soG2443 that they will not alsoG2532 comeG2064 to thisG3778 placeG5117 of tormentG931.’
