A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 6:25

"Woe unto you, ye that are full now! for ye shall hunger. Woe [unto you], ye that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep." — Luke 6:25 (ASV)

Now (νυν). Here twice as in verse 21 in contrast with future punishment. The joys and sorrows in these two verses are turned round, measure for measure reversed. The Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31) illustrate these contrasts in the present and the future.
