1 Thessalonians 4:11-13

Lexham English Bible

¹¹ and to aspire to live a quiet life, and to attend to your own business,^[a] and to work with your hands,^[b] just as we commanded you, ¹² so that you may live decently toward those outside, and may have need of nothing.

The Comfort of the Lord’s Return

¹³ Now we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you will not grieve as also the rest, who have no hope.
