LUKE 16:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us — the great chasm (chasma mega, fixed and impassable) communicates the irreversibility of the eschatological division. The word set in place (esteriktai, has been fixed, is permanently established) communicates the divine determination of the boundary. The crossing is impossible in both directions.
