路加福音 16:19
- 31
"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.
At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores
and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.
In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.
So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'
"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'
"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family,
for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'
"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'
" 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'
"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "
有一個財主穿著紫色袍和細麻布衣服，天天奢華宴樂。
又有一個討飯的，名叫拉撒路，渾身生瘡，被人放在財主門口，
要得財主桌子上掉下來的零碎充飢；並且狗來餂他的瘡。
後來那討飯的死了，被天使帶去放在亞伯拉罕的懷裡。財主也死了，並且埋葬了。
他在陰間受痛苦，舉目遠遠的望見亞伯拉罕，又望見拉撒路在他懷裡，
就喊著說：『我祖亞伯拉罕哪，可憐我吧！打發拉撒路來，用指頭尖蘸點水，涼涼我的舌頭；因為我在這火焰裡，極其痛苦。』
亞伯拉罕說：『兒啊，你該回想你生前享過福，拉撒路也受過苦；如今他在這裡得安慰，你倒受痛苦。
不但這樣，並且在你我之間，有深淵限定，以致人要從這邊過到你們那邊是不能的；要從那邊過到我們這邊也是不能的。』
財主說：『我祖啊！既是這樣，求你打發拉撒路到我父家去；
因為我還有五個弟兄，他可以對他們作見證，免得他們也來到這痛苦的地方。』
亞伯拉罕說：『他們有摩西和先知的話可以聽從。』
他說：『我祖亞伯拉罕哪，不是的，若有一個從死裡復活的，到他們那裡去的，他們必要悔改。』
亞伯拉罕說：『若不聽從摩西和先知的話，就是有一個從死裡復活的，他們也是不聽勸。』」
哥林多後書 12:2
I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know-God knows.
我認得一個在基督裡的人，他前十四年被提到第三層天上去；（或在身內，我不知道；或在身外，我也不知道；只有神知道。）
啟示錄 21:4
'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
神要擦去他們一切的眼淚；不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀、哭號、疼痛，因為以前的事都過去了。」
馬太福音 25:46
"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
這些人要往永刑裡去；那些義人要往永生裡去。」
使徒行傳 2:31
Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay.
就預先看明這事，講論基督復活說：他的靈魂不撇在陰間；他的肉身也不見朽壞。
羅馬書 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
因為罪的工價乃是死；惟有神的恩賜，在我們的主基督耶穌裡，乃是永生。
