He spoke these things: and after this He says to them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; and I go that I may awaken him.

And Paul, having come down, fell on him, and taking him in his arms said, Fear not; for his soul is in him:

Therefore many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep; in order that you may not sorrow, even as those having no hope.

the one having died for us, in order that, whether we are awake or asleep, we shall at the same time live with him.
