1 Thessalonians

1 Thessalonians 4:13–15

13Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death ,c so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope. 14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.

15By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.
