Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.” |
And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow with them.” |
Then I heard a voice from heaven, say, “Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.” |

And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying, Write at once, Spiritually prosperous are the dead who die in the Lord from this time forth; Yes, says the Spirit, to the end that they may rest from their labors, for their works accompany them. |

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who from this time die as Christians (literally, die in the Lord).’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “let them rest from their toils, for the things they have done are going with them.” |
