Luke 16:25-31 New English Translation (NET)

25. But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things and Lazarus likewise bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in anguish.

26. Besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’

27. So the rich man said, ‘Then I beg you, father – send Lazarus to my father’s house

28. (for I have five brothers) to warn them so that they don’t come into this place of torment.’

29. But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they must respond to them.’

30. Then the rich man said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

31. He replied to him, ‘If they do not respond to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
