⁷ and to give you who are troubled ^(A)rest with us when ^(B)the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

¹³ Then I heard a voice from heaven saying ^[a]to me, “Write: ^(A)‘Blessed are the dead ^(B)who die in the Lord from now on.’ ”

“Yes,” says the Spirit, ^(C)“that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow ^(D)them.”

²⁷ For ^(A)the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father ^(B)with His angels, ^(C)and then He will reward each according to his works.

^16 (A)“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. ^(B)I am the Root and the Offspring of David, ^(C)the Bright and Morning Star.”

¹⁴ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, ¹⁵ to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the ^(A)harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

^13 (A)looking for the blessed ^(B)hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

^4 (A)And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; ^(B)there shall be no more death, ^(C)nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

¹⁷ For ^(A)our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

¹⁷ and if children, then ^(A)heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, ^(B)if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
