11 that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, ato mind your own business, and bto work with your own hands, as we commanded you,
12 athat you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.
The Comfort of Christ’s Coming
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen1 asleep, lest you sorrow aas others bwho have no hope.
14 For aif we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him bthose who sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you aby the word of the Lord, that bwe who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are1 asleep.
16 For athe Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with bthe trumpet of God. cAnd the dead in Christ will rise first.
