EasyEnglish Bible
29 Abraham replied, “They have the books that Moses and God's prophets wrote. Your family should read them and do what they say.”[a]
30 The rich man said, “That is not enough, father Abraham. But if someone goes to them from among the dead people, they will listen. Then they will turn away from the wrong things that they do.”
31 But Abraham said to him, “They do not listen to what Moses and God's prophets have said. So they will not believe God's message even if someone comes back from among the dead people.” ’[b]
