Mark 5:39

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

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

He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."

Paul went down, and fell upon him, and embracing him said, "Don't be troubled, for his life is in him."

For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep.

But we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
