Luke: 12:4 And I
(Jesus) say to you my friends, Be not afraid of them
that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But
I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: Fear him, (God)
which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to
you, Fear him.
Luke 16:19 There was a certain rich man, which was
clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his
gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which
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 was carried by
the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and 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, Son, remember that you in your lifetime
received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he
is comforted, and you art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us
and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from
here to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from
there. 27 Then he said, I pray tyou therefore, father, that you would
send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brothers; that he may
testify to them, so that they do not come into this place of torment. 29
Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear
them. 30 And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went 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 rose
from the dead.
