Old Testament

New Testament

Luke 16:16-22 American Standard Version (ASV)

16. The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.

17. But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.

18. Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.

19. Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:

20. and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,

21. and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs come and licked his sores.

22. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.
