12 in order that you may walk properly toward the ones outside and may have need of nothing[a].
Do Not Grieve Over The Dead In Christ. We Will Rise Together To Be With Him Forever
13 And we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, concerning the ones falling-asleep[b], in-order-that you may not grieve as indeed the others— the ones not having a hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose-up, so also[c] God will bring with Him the ones having fallen asleep through[d] Jesus.
