Luke 6:49

6:49 But the person who hears and does not put my words into practice ¹  is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When ²  the river burst against that house, ³  it collapsed immediately, and was utterly destroyed!” ⁴ 

Luke 16:26

16:26 Besides all this, ⁵  a great chasm ⁶  has been fixed between us, ⁷  so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’

¹ tn Grk “does not do [them].”

² tn Grk “against which”; because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the relative clause was converted to a temporal clause in the translation and a new sentence started here.

³ tn Grk “it”; the referent (that house) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Grk “and its crash was great.”

⁵ tn Grk “And in all these things.” There is no way Lazarus could carry out this request even if divine justice were not involved.

⁶ sn The great chasm between heaven and hell is impassable forever. The rich man’s former status meant nothing now.

⁷ tn Grk “between us and you.”
