- 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.

- Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you,
- so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
- Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope.
- We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
- According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
