1 Thessalonians 4:12-14

New Century Version

¹² If you do, then people who are not believers will respect you, and you will not have to depend on others for what you need.

The Lord’s Coming

¹³ Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about those Christians who have died so you will not be sad, as others who have no hope. ¹⁴ We believe that Jesus died and that he rose again. So, because of him, God will raise with Jesus those who have died.
