Comfort

Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
(New International Version)


You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.
(The Message)


God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
(New Living Translation)



1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
(New International Version)



And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with Him the believers who have died.
(New Living Translation)
