12 so that you will [a](A)behave properly toward (B)outsiders and [b](C)not be in any need.
Those Who Died in Christ
13 But (D)we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who (E)are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do (F)the rest who have (G)no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, (H)even so God will bring with Him (I)those who have fallen asleep [c]in Jesus.

New International Version
12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders(A) and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed(B) about those who sleep in death,(C) so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.(D) 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again,(E) and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.(F)
