4:13 Now we do not want you to be uninformed, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  about those who are asleep, ³  so that you will not grieve like the rest who have no hope. 4:15 For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, ⁴  that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not go ahead of those who have fallen asleep.
