1 Thessalonians 4:11-13

New International Reader's Version

¹¹ And do everything you can to live a quiet life. You should mind your own business. And work with your hands, just as we told you to. ¹² Then unbelievers will have respect for your everyday life. And you won’t have to depend on anyone.

What Happens to Believers Who Have Died

¹³ Brothers and sisters, we want you to know what happens to those who die. We don’t want you to mourn, as other people do. They mourn because they don’t have any hope.
