Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about those Christians who 
have died so you will not be sad, as others who have no hope. We 
believe that Jesus died and that he rose again. So, because of him, 
God will raise with Jesus those who have died.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14





The LORD comforts his people and will have pity on those who suffer.
Isaiah 49:13b





When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you cross 
rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through fire, you will not 
be burned, nor will the flames hurt you. This is because I, the LORD, 
am your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
Isaiah 43:2-3a





May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father encourage you 
and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say. God loved us, 
and through his grace he gave us a good hope and encouragement that 
continues forever.
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17





Those who are sad now are happy, because God will comfort them.
Matthew 5:4





Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is 
the Father who is full of mercy and all comfort. He comforts us 
every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can 
comfort them with the same comfort God gives us. We share in the 
many sufferings of Christ. In the same way, much comfort comes 
to us through Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5





The Lord GOD has put his Spirit in me, because the LORD has appointed 
me to tell the good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort those 
whose hearts are broken, to tell the captives they are free, and to 
tell the prisoners they are released. He has sent me to announce the 
time when the LORD will show his kindness and the time when our God 
will punish evil people. He has sent me to comfort all those who are 
sad and to help the sorrowing people of Jerusalem. I will give them a 
crown to replace their ashes, and the oil of gladness to replace their 
sorrow, and clothes of praise to replace their spirit of sadness. Then 
they will be called Trees of Goodness, trees planted by the LORD to 
show his greatness.
Isaiah 61:1-3





He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no 
more death, sadness, crying, or pain, because all the old ways 
are gone.

LORD, show me your love, and save me as you have promised. When I 
suffer, this comforts me: Your promise gives me life.

Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you.
1 Peter 5:7

"Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your pain? Death's 
power to hurt is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But we thank 
God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:55-57





Even if I walk through a very dark valley, I will not be afraid, 
because you are with me. Your rod and your walking stick 
comfort me.
Psalm 23:4





Since we have a great high priest, Jesus the Son of God, who has 
gone into heaven, let us hold on to the faith we have. For our high 
priest is able to understand our weaknesses. When he lived on earth, 
he was tempted in every way that we are, but he did not sin. Let us, 
then, feel very sure that we can come before God's throne where there 
is grace. There we can receive mercy and grace to help us when we 
need it.
Hebrews 4:14-16





So, don't worry, because I am with you. Don't be afraid, because I 
am your God. I will make you strong and will help you; I will support 
you with my right hand that saves you.
Isaiah 41:10





The people the LORD has freed will return and enter Jerusalem with 
joy. Their happiness will last forever. They will have joy and 
gladness, and all sadness and sorrow will be gone far away. 
Isaiah 51:11





So I say that we have courage. We really want to be away from this 
body and be at home with the Lord. Our only goal is to please God 
whether we live here or there, because we must all stand before 
Christ to be judged. Each of us will receive what we should get-good 
or bad-for the things we did in the earthly body.
2 Corinthians 5:8-10
