1 Thessalonians 4:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² And we will not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are asleep, that you be not sorrowful, even as others who have no hope.

¹³ For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again; even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him.

¹⁴ For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept.
