LAZARUS AND THE RICH MAN

There was a certain rich man, which was
clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared
sumptuously every day: And there was a
certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring
to be fed with the crumbs which fell from
the rich man's table: moreover the dogs
came and licked his sores.

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; And in hell he lift up his eyes,
being in torments, and seeth Abraham
afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 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.

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.

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." Hell is
described not only as a fiery place of
torment, but also as a separation from
God and His saints, a place where there is
ontinual torment.
