10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia, but we beseech you, brethren, that ye continue to grow
11 and that ye procure to be quiet and to do your business and to work with your hands, as we commanded you,
12 that ye may walk honestly toward those that are without, and that ye may desire nothing from any one.
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as the others who have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who sleep in Jesus will God also bring with him.
15 For this, we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede those who are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;
