1 Thessalonians 4:18. Wherefore. There being no ground for your supposing that your dead friends will suffer any disadvantage from dying before Christ comes.

And that no one may excuse himself on the score of having no consolation to offer, he gives them wherewithal they may mitigate the bitterness of bereavement.
