Luke 16:11-31 If therefore ye were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches?

ABU⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ If therefore ye were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches? ¹² And if ye were not faithful in that which is another's, who will give to you your own? ¹³ No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye can not serve God and Mammon. ¹⁴ And the Pharisees also; who were covetous, heard all these things; and they derided him. ¹⁵ And he said to them: Ye are they who justify themselves before men; but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination before God. ¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the good news of the kingdom of God is published, and every man presses into it. ¹⁷ And it is easier that heaven and earth should pass away, than that one tittle of the law should fail. ¹⁸ Every one who puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when put away from a husband commits adultery. ¹⁹ There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day. ²⁰ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores, ²¹ and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. ²² And it came to pass, that the beggar died; and he was borne away by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried; ²³ and in the underworld, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. ²⁴ And he cried and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham said: Child, remember that in thy lifetime thou receivedst thy good things in full, and Lazarus in like manner his evil things; but now here, he is comforted and thou art tormented. ²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you a great gulf is fixed; that they who would pass from hence to you may not be able, nor those from thence pass over to us. ²⁷ And he said: I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house. ²⁸ For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, that they may not also come into this place of torment. ²⁹ Abraham says to him: They have Moses and the prophets let them hear them. ³⁰ And he said: Nay, father Abraham; but if one should go to them from the dead, they will repent. ³¹ And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one should rise from the dead.
