Luke 16:9-31

9And IG2504 sayG3004 to youG5213, MakeG4160 to yourselvesG1438 friendsG5384 byG1537 the richesG3126 of unrighteousnessG93; thatG2443, whenG3752 ye failG1587, they may receiveG1209 youG5209 intoG1519 everlastingG166 habitationsG4633.1 10He that is faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is leastG1646 isG2076 faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183: andG2532 he that is unjustG94 inG1722 the leastG1646 isG2076 unjustG94 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183. 11IfG1487 thereforeG3767 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 the unrighteousG94 richesG3126, whoG5101 will commitG4100 to yourG5213 trustG4100 the trueG228 riches ?2 12AndG2532 ifG1487 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is another man’sG245, whoG5101 shall giveG1325 youG5213 that which is your ownG5212? 13NoG3762 servantG3610 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG2087; or elseG2228 he will holdG472 to the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG2087. Ye cannotG3756G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 richesG3126. 14AndG1161 the PhariseesG5330 alsoG2532, who wereG5225 covetousG5366, heardG191 allG3956 these thingsG5023: andG2532 they mockedG1592 himG846. 15AndG2532 he saidG2036 to themG846, YeG5210 areG2075 they who justifyG1344 yourselvesG1438 beforeG1799 menG444; butG1161 GodG2316 knowethG1097 yourG5216 heartsG2588: forG3754 that which is highly esteemedG5308 amongG1722 menG444 isG2076 abominationG946 in the sightG1799 of GodG2316. 16The lawG3551 andG2532 the prophetsG4396 were untilG2193 JohnG2491: sinceG575 that timeG5119 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is preachedG2097, andG2532 every manG3956 pressethG971 intoG1519 itG846. 17AndG1161 it isG2076 easierG2123 for heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 to pass awayG3928, thanG2228 oneG3391 tittleG2762 of the lawG3551 to failG4098. 18WhoeverG3956 putteth awayG630 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 marriethG1060 anotherG2087, committeth adulteryG3431: andG2532 whoeverG3956 marriethG1060 her that is put awayG630 fromG575 her husbandG435 committeth adulteryG3431.

There wasG2258 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whoG2532 was clothedG1737 in purpleG4209 andG2532 fine linenG1040, and faredG2165 sumptuouslyG2988 everyG2596 dayG2250: 20AndG1161 there wasG2258 a certainG5100 beggarG4434 namedG3686 LazarusG2976, whoG3739 was laidG906 atG4314 hisG846 gateG4440, full of soresG1669, 21AndG2532 desiringG1937 to be fedG5526 withG575 the crumbsG5589 whichG3588 fellG4098 fromG575 the rich man’sG4145 tableG5132: moreoverG235G2532 the dogsG2965 cameG2064 and lickedG621 hisG846 soresG1668. 22AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that the beggarG4434 diedG599, andG2532 was carriedG667 byG5259 the angelsG32 intoG1519 Abraham’sG11 bosomG2859: the rich manG4145 alsoG1161G2532 diedG599, andG2532 was buriedG2290; 23AndG2532 inG1722 hellG86 he lifted upG1869 hisG846 eyesG3788, beingG5225 inG1722 tormentsG931, and seethG3708 AbrahamG11 afarG3113 offG575, andG2532 LazarusG2976 inG1722 hisG846 bosomG2859. 24AndG2532G846 he criedG5455 and saidG2036, FatherG3962 AbrahamG11, have mercyG1653 on meG3165, andG2532 sendG3992 LazarusG2976, thatG2443 he may dipG911 the tipG206 of hisG846 fingerG1147 in waterG5204, andG2532 coolG2711 myG3450 tongueG1100; forG3754 I am tormentedG3600 inG1722 thisG5026 flameG5395. 25ButG1161 AbrahamG11 saidG2036, SonG5043, rememberG3415 thatG3754 thouG4771 inG1722 thyG4675 lifetimeG2222 didst receiveG618 thyG4675 good thingsG18, andG2532 likewiseG3668 LazarusG2976 evil thingsG2556: butG1161 nowG3568G3592 he is comfortedG3870, andG1161 thouG4771 art tormentedG3600. 26AndG2532 besidesG1909 allG3956 thisG5125, betweenG3342 usG2257 andG2532 youG5216 there isG4741 a greatG3173 gulfG5490 fixedG4741: so thatG3704 they who wouldG2309 passG1224 from hereG1782 toG4314 youG5209 cannotG3361G1410; neitherG3366 can they passG1276 toG4314 usG2248, that would come from thereG1564. 27ThenG1161 he saidG2036, I prayG2065 theeG4571 thereforeG3767, fatherG3962, thatG2443 thou wouldest sendG3992 himG846 toG1519 myG3450 father’sG3962 houseG3624: 28ForG1063 I haveG2192 fiveG4002 brethrenG80; thatG3704 he may testifyG1263 to themG846, lestG3363 theyG846 alsoG2532 comeG2064 intoG1519 thisG5126 placeG5117 of tormentG931. 29AbrahamG11 saithG3004 to himG846, They haveG2192 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG4396; let them hearG191 themG846. 30AndG1161 he saidG2036, NayG3780, fatherG3962 AbrahamG11: butG235 ifG1437 oneG5100 wentG4198 toG4314 themG846 fromG575 the deadG3498, they will repentG3340. 31AndG1161 he saidG2036 to himG846, IfG1487 they hearG191 notG3756 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG4396, neitherG3761 will they be persuadedG3982, thoughG1437 oneG5100 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
