1 Thessalonians 4:13-15 We do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding those who are sleeping, that you may not sorrow as the rest of men who have no hope.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ We do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, regarding those who are sleeping, that you may not sorrow as the rest of men who have no hope. ¹⁴ For since, as we believe, Jesus died and rose, so too God will through Jesus bring with him those who have fallen asleep. ¹⁵ This we tell you by the word of the Lord: We, the living, who have been left until the coming of the Lord, will not have the start of those who have fallen asleep.
