1 Thessalonians 4:13
But we do not want you to be uninformed,
brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may
not grieve as others do who have no hope.
1 Thessalonians 4:14
For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those
who have fallen asleep.
