And a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores, had been laid at his gate,

And in Hades he looked up, in constant tortures as he was, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus his bosom companion.

But Abraham said, 'My child, remember that you received in full your blessings in your lifetime, and Lazarus his hardships in his, but now he is continuously comforted here, while you are continuously tortured there.
