New Living Translation

1 Thessalonians 4:11-14 New Living Translation (NLT)

11. Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.

12. Then people who are not believers will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others.

13. And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope.

14. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.
