A.T. Robertson Commentary
"But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted and thou art in anguish." — Luke 16:25 (ASV)
Receivedst (απελαβες). Second aorist indicative of απολαμβανω, old verb to get back what is promised and in full. See also Lu 6:34; 18:30; 23:41.
Evil things (τα κακα). Not "his," but "the evil things" that came upon him.
Thou art in anguish (οδυνασα). Like καυχασα in Ro 2:17. They contracted -αεσα without the loss of ς. Common in the Koine.
