1 Thessalonians 4:12-14

New Testament for Everyone

¹² so that you may behave in a way which outsiders will respect, and so that none of you may be in financial difficulties.

The Lord’s coming

¹³ Now concerning those who have fallen asleep: we don’t want you to remain in ignorance about them, my dear family. We don’t want you to have the kind of grief that other people do, people who don’t have any hope. ¹⁴ For, you see, if we believe that Jesus died and rose, that’s the way God will also, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
