1 Thessalonians 4:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹ Try very much to live at peace with other people. Work hard at your own job. We have already told you that you must do these things. ¹² If you live in this way, other people who are not believers will respect you. Also, you will not have to ask anyone else to give you the things that you need.

Jesus' return

¹³ Our Christian friends, we want you to understand properly about your friends who have died.^[a] Then you will not continue to be sad about them. People who do not hope for any life after death are sad when their friends die. But you should not be upset like those other people.
