1 Thessalonians 4:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ Aim to live quietly, mind your own business, and earn your own living, just as I told you. ¹² That way you’ll behave appropriately toward outsiders, and you won’t be in need.

Believers who have died

¹³ Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about people who have died^[a] so that you won’t mourn like others who don’t have any hope.
