42:016:010 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in
much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in
much.
42:016:011 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous
mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
42:016:012 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another
man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
42:016:013 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the
one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and
despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
42:016:014 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these
things: and they derided him.
42:016:015 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves
before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is
highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
42:016:016 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the
kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
42:016:017 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle
of the law to fail.
42:016:018 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another,
committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put
away from her husband committeth adultery.
42:016:019 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and
fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
42:016:020 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid
at his gate, full of sores,
42:016:021 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the
rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
42:016:022 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by
the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and
was buried;
42:016:023 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
42:016:024 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.
42:016:025 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things:
but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
42:016:026 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf
fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot;
neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
42:016:027 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou
wouldest send him to my father's house:
42:016:028 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest
they also come into this place of torment.
