Luke 16:16-23

¹⁶The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.

¹⁷But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.

¹⁸Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.

¹⁹Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:

²⁰and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,

²¹and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

²²And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.

²³And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
