And we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who are sleeping, so as not to be sorrowful, like these others who do not have hope.
For if we believe that Jesus has died and risen again, so also will God bring back with Jesus those who sleep in him.
For we say this to you, in the Word of the Lord: that we who are alive, who remain until the return of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

Therefore, console one another with these words.
