1 Thessalonians 4:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² That way you’ll behave appropriately toward outsiders, and you won’t be in need.

Believers who have died

¹³ Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about people who have died^[a] so that you won’t mourn like others who don’t have any hope. ¹⁴ Since we believe that Jesus died and rose, so we also believe that God will bring with him those who have died in Jesus.
