LUKE 16:25 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
But Abraham replied, son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony — son: the covenant membership is acknowledged — he is Abraham's descendant. Remember that in your lifetime you received your good things: the simple explanation of the reversal — the earthly distribution was entirely to the rich man's advantage. Now he is comforted here and you are in agony: the present reversal is the fulfillment of the Beatitudes and Woes.
