Luke 16:16-23

¹⁶The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force.

¹⁷But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest letter of the law may be dropped out.

¹⁸Everyone who puts away his wife and takes another, is a false husband: and he who is married to a woman whose husband has put her away, is no true husband to her.

¹⁹Now there was a certain man of great wealth, who was dressed in fair clothing of purple and delicate linen, and was shining and glad every day.

²⁰And a certain poor man, named Lazarus, was stretched out at his door, full of wounds,

²¹Desiring the broken bits of food which came from the table of the man of wealth; and even the dogs came and put their tongues on his wounds.

²²And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.

²³And in hell, being in great pain, lifting up his eyes he saw Abraham, far away, and Lazarus on his breast.
