He would be double damned

"Then I beg you—send Lazarus to my father's house,
for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that
they will not also come to this place of torment."
Luke 16:27-28 

Dives knew that if his brethren were damned—that 
he would be double damned, because he had 
largely contributed to the bringing of them to hell 
by his wicked example. Therefore he desires that 
they might be kept out of hell—not out of any love 
or goodwill to them—but because their coming 
there would have made his hell more hot, his 
torments more insufferable.

The lowest, the darkest, the hottest place in hell, 
will be for those who have drawn others there by 
their example. "It would be better for him to be 
thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around 
his neck—than for him to cause one of these little 
ones to sin." Luke 17:2
