- 又要立志作安靜人、辦自己的事、親手作工、正如我們從前所吩咐你們的.
- 叫你們可以向外人行事端正、自己也就沒有甚麼缺乏了。
- 論到睡了的人、我們不願意弟兄們不知道、恐怕你們憂傷、像那些沒有指望的人一樣。
- 我們若信耶穌死而復活了、那已經在耶穌裡睡了的人、 神也必將他與耶穌一同帶來。
- 我們現在照主的話告訴你們一件事.我們這活著還存留到主降臨的人、斷不能在那已經睡了的人之先.

- and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you,
- so that you will behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need.
- But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.
- For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
- For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
