1 Thessalonians 4:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ Also, make it your goal to live quietly, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you, ¹² so that you may win the respect of outsiders, and have need of nothing.

Comfort about Christians who Have Died

¹³ But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve like other people who have no hope.
