¹⁰ Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Don't be troubled, for his life is in him."

² Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

¹¹ He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."

¹² The disciples therefore said, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."

¹³ Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.

³⁰ For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

¹³ But we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who have fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

¹⁰ who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
