than for one point of the law
to fail. [16:18]Every one that puts away his wife and marries another,
commits adultery; and he that marries a woman put away from a husband,
commits adultery.

4 [16:19]There was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and
fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day. [16:20]And a certain
poor man by the name of Lazarus was laid at his gate, afflicted with
ulcers, [16:21]and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from
the rich man's table; but the dogs also came and licked his ulcers.
[16:22]And the poor man died, and was carried away by the angels to
Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died, and was buried; [16:23]and
in hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham from
afar, and Lazarus in his bosom. [16:24]And he called and said, Father
Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his
finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in pain in this flame.

5 [16:25]But Abraham said, Son, remember that you received your good
things in your life, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he
is comforted here, and you are in pain. [16:26]And besides all this,
there is a great chasm fixed between us and you, so that those wishing
to pass from hence to you cannot, neither can they pass from thence to
us. [16:27]And he said, I beseech you then, father, send him to my
father's house, [16:28]for I have five brothers, to testify fully to
them, that they may not also come to this place of torment [16:29]But
Abraham said, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
[16:30]But he said, No, father Abraham, but if one went to them from
the dead they would change their minds. [16:31]But he said to him, If
they hear not Moses and the prophets, they would not be persuaded if
one arose from the dead.

CHAPTER XXII.

CHRIST'S DOCTRINE RESPECTING OFFENSES, CURING TEN LEPERS, AND
PREDICTING THE COMING OF HIS KINGDOM.

1 [17:1]AND he said to his disciples, It is inevitable that offenses
should come; but woe to him by whom they come; [17:2]it would be
profitable for him if a millstone was placed around his neck, and he
was cast into the sea, rather than that he should offend one of these
little ones. [17:3]Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sins,
reprove him; and if he changes his mind, forgive him; [17:4]and if he
sins against you seven times in a day, and turn seven times, saying, I
change my mind, you shall forgive him.
