1 Thessalonians 4
10 And you are indeed showing this love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to excel more and more
11 and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.
12 Then you will behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone.
13 Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.
14 For 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.
