Now G1161 I would G2309 not have you ignorant, G50 brothers, G80 that oftentimes G4178 I purposed G4388 to come G2064 to you, (but was let G2967 till now, G891 G1204 ) that I might hav G2192 e som G5100 e frui G2590 t amon G1722 g you also, G2532 eve G2532 n as amon G1722 g othe G3062 r Gentiles. G1484

Moreover, G1161 brothers, G80 I would G2309 not that you should be ignorant, G50 how that all G3956 our fathers G3962 were under G5259 the cloud, G3507 and all G3956 passed G1330 through G1223 the sea; G2281

Now G1161 concerning G4012 spiritual G4152 gifts, brothers, G80 I would G2309 not have you ignorant. G50

For we would G2309 not, brothers, G80 have you ignorant G50 of our trouble G2347 which G3588 came G1096 to us in Asia, G773 that we were pressed G916 out of measure, G5236 above G5228 strength, G1411 so G5620 that we despaired G1820 even G2532 of life: G2198

But, beloved, G27 be not ignorant G2990 of this G5124 one G1520 thing, that one G3391 day G2250 is with the Lord G2962 as a thousand G5507 years, G2094 and a thousand G5507 years G2094 as one G3391 day. G2250

For this G5124 we say G3004 to you by the word G3056 of the Lord, G2962 that we which G3588 are alive G2198 and remain G4035 to the coming G3952 of the Lord G2962 shall not precede G5348 them which G3588 are asleep. G2837

Who G3588 died G599 for us, that, whether G1535 we wake G1127 or G1535 sleep, G2518 we should live G2198 together G260 with him.

Otherwise it shall come H1961 to pass, when my lord H113 the king H4428 shall sleep H7901 with his fathers, H1 that I and my son H1121 Solomon H8010 shall be counted offenders. H2400

So David H1732 slept H7901 with his fathers, H1 and was buried H6912 in the city H5892 of David. H1732

And many H7227 of them that sleep H3463 in the dust H6083 of the earth H127 shall awake, H6974 some H428 to everlasting H5769 life, H2416 and some H428 to shame H2781 and everlasting H5769 contempt. H1860

And the graves G3419 were opened; G455 and many G4183 bodies G4983 of the saints G40 which G3588 slept G2837 arose, G1453

And all G3956 wept, G2799 and bewailed G2875 her: but he said, G2036 Weep G2799 not; she is not dead, G599 but sleeps. G2518

And they laughed G2606 him to scorn, G2606 knowing G1492 that she was dead. G599

These G5023 things G5023 said G2036 he: and after G3326 that he said G3004 to them, Our friend G5384 Lazarus G2976 sleeps; G2837 but I go, G4198 that I may awake G1852 him out of sleep. G1852

However, Jesus G2424 spoke G2046 of his death: G2288 but they thought G1380 that he had spoken G3004 of taking of rest G2838 in sleep. G5258

And he kneeled G5087 G1119 down, and cried G2896 with a loud G3173 voice, G5456 Lord, G2962 lay G2476 not this G5026 sin G266 to their charge. G846 And when he had said G2036 this, G5124 he fell asleep. G2837

For David, G1138 after he had served G5256 his own G2398 generation G1074 by the will G1012 of God, G2316 fell on sleep, G2837 and was laid G4369 to his fathers, G3962 and saw G1492 corruption: G1312

After G1899 that, he was seen G3700 of above G1883 five G4001 hundred G4001 brothers G80 at G2178 once; G2178 of whom G3739 the greater G4119 part G4119 remain G3306 to this present, G737 but some G5100 are fallen G2837 asleep. G2837

Then G686 they also G2532 which are fallen G2837 asleep G2837 in Christ G5547 are perished. G622

And saying, G3004 Where G4226 is the promise G1860 of his coming? G3952 for since G575 G3739 the fathers G3962 fell asleep, G2837 all G3956 things continue G1265 as they were from the beginning G746 of the creation. G2937

And all H3605 his sons H1121 and all H3605 his daughters H1323 rose H6965 up to comfort H5162 him; but he refused H3985 to be comforted; H5162 and he said, H559 For I will go H3381 down H3381 into the grave H7585 to my son H1121 mourning. H57 Thus his father H1 wept H1058 for him.

You shall not make H5414 any cuttings H8296 in your flesh H1320 for the dead, H5315 nor H3808 print H5414 any marks H7085 on you: I am the LORD. H3068

You are the children H1121 of the LORD H3068 your God: H430 you shall not cut H1413 yourselves, nor H3808 make H7760 any baldness H7144 between H996 your eyes H5869 for the dead. H4191

For you are an holy H6918 people H5971 to the LORD H3068 your God, H430 and the LORD H3068 has chosen H977 you to be a peculiar H5459 people H5971 to himself, above all H3605 the nations H5971 that are on the earth. H127

But when David H1732 saw H7200 that his servants H5650 whispered, H3907 David H1732 perceived H995 that the child H3206 was dead: H4191 therefore David H1732 said H559 to his servants, H5650 Is the child H3206 dead? H4191 And they said, H559 He is dead. H4191

Then David H1732 arose H6965 from the earth, H776 and washed, H7364 and anointed H5480 himself, and changed H2498 his apparel, H8071 and came H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and worshipped: H7812 then he came H935 to his own house; H1004 and when he required, H7592 they set H7760 bread H3899 before him, and he did eat. H398

And the king H4428 was much moved, H7264 and went H5927 up to the chamber H5944 over H5921 the gate, H8179 and wept: H1058 and as he went, H3212 thus H3541 he said, H559 O my son H1121 Absalom, H53 my son, H1121 my son H1121 Absalom! H53 would H4310 H5414 God I had died H4191 for you, O Absalom, H53 my son, H1121 my son! H1121

And said, H559 Naked H6174 came H3318 I out of my mother's H517 womb, H990 and naked H6174 shall I return H7725 thither: H8033 the LORD H3068 gave, H5414 and the LORD H3068 has taken H3947 away; blessed H1288 be the name H8034 of the LORD. H3068

Son H1121 of man, H120 behold, H2005 I take H3947 away from you the desire H4261 of your eyes H5869 with a stroke: H4046 yet neither H3808 shall you mourn H5594 nor H3808 weep, H1058 neither H3808 shall your tears H1832 run H935 down.

So I spoke H1696 to the people H5971 in the morning: H1242 and at even H6153 my wife H802 died; H4191 and I did H6213 in the morning H1242 as I was commanded. H6680

Martha G3136 said G3004 to him, I know G1492 that he shall rise G450 again G450 in the resurrection G386 at G1722 the last G2078 day. G2250

And devout G2126 men G435 carried G4792 Stephen G4736 to his burial, and made G4160 great G3173 lamentation G2870 over G1909 him.

That at G1722 that time G2540 you were without G5565 Christ, G5547 being aliens G526 from the commonwealth G4174 of Israel, G2474 and strangers G3581 from the covenants G1242 of promise, G1860 having G2192 no G3361 hope, G1680 and without G112 God G112 in the world: G2889

For I know H3045 that my redeemer H1350 lives, H2416 and that he shall stand H6965 at the latter H314 day on the earth: H6083

Whom H834 I shall see H2372 for myself, and my eyes H5869 shall behold, H7200 and not another; H2114 though my reins H3629 be consumed H3615 within H2436 me.

The wicked H7563 is driven H1760 away in his wickedness: H7451 but the righteous H6662 has hope H2620 in his death. H4194

Then he said H559 to me, Son H1121 of man, H120 these H428 bones H6106 are the whole H3605 house H1004 of Israel: H3478 behold, H2009 they say, H559 Our bones H6106 are dried, H3001 and our hope H8615 is lost: H6 we are cut H1504 off for our parts.

If G1487 in this G5126 life G2222 only G3440 we have G2070 hope G1679 in Christ, G5547 we are of all G3956 men G444 most miserable. G1652
