1 Thessalonians 4:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² so that you may win the respect of outsiders, and have need of nothing.

Comfort about Christians who Have Died

¹³ But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve like other people who have no hope. ¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so through Jesus God will bring those who have died with him.
