Mark 5:39

He entered and said: Why all the commotion and why do you weep. The child is not dead but sleeps.

Paul went down and fell on him. He embraced him and said: Do not be troubled for he lives.

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

Then he told them: Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep. I go to wake him out of sleep.

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

I do not want you to be ignorant brothers, concerning those who are asleep (in death). You do not need to sorrow like others who have no hope.

He died for us, that, whether we are awake in this life or sleep in death, we should live together with him.
