King James Version (KJV)
16:25 But Abraham said, Son - According to the flesh. Is it not worthy of observation, that Abraham will not revile even a damned soul? and shall living men revile one another?

This damnable idolatry, had there been nothing more, was enough to sink him to the nethermost hell.

16:28 Lest they also come into this place - He might justly fear lest their reproaches should add to his own torment.
