LUKE 6:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 1
Luke 6:23Luke 6:25
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort — the Woes are unique to Luke's version of the Beatitudes, creating a prophetic balance of blessing and warning. Woe to you who are rich: the rich have already received their comfort (apechete, you have received in full, the word used for receipts). The present comfort exhausts the claim on future blessing — those who have their reward now will not receive it then.
