And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.

And a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Put in writing, There is a blessing on the dead who from now on come to their end in the Lord: yes, says the Spirit, that they may have rest from their troubles; for their works go with them.

Και ηκουσα φωνην εκ του ουρανου λεγουσαν προς εμε· Γραψον, Μακαριοι οι νεκροι, οιτινες αποθνησκουσιν εν Κυριω απο του νυν. Ναι, λεγει το Πνευμα, δια να αναπαυθωσιν απο των κοπων αυτων, και τα εργα αυτων ακολουθουσι με αυτους.

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
