1 Thessalonians 4:12 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 4

10 Y también lo hacéis [así] con todos los hermanos que están por toda Macedonia. Empero os rogamos, hermanos, que abundéis más;

11 Y que procuréis tener quietud, y hacer vuestros negocios, y obréis de vuestras manos de la manera que os hemos mandado;

12 A fin de que andéis honestamente para con los extraños, y no necesitéis de nada.

13 Tampoco, hermanos, queremos que ignoréis acerca de los que duermen, que no os entristezcáis como los otros que no tienen esperanza.

14 Porque si creemos que Jesús murió y resucitó, así también traerá Dios con él á los que durmieron en Jesús.
