New International Reader's Version

1 Thessalonians 4:11-13 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

11. Do everything you can to live a quiet life. Mind your own business. Work with your hands, just as we told you to.

12. Then unbelievers will have respect for your everyday life. And you won't have to depend on anyone.

13. Brothers and sisters, we want you to know what happens to those who die. We don't want you to be sad, as other people are. They don't have any hope.
