Revelation 14:13-17 Then I heard a voice from heaven say: »Write: Blessed are the dead who die in union with the Lord from this time forward: Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works follow them.«

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Then I heard a voice from heaven say: »Write: Blessed are the dead who die in union with the Lord from this time forward: Yes, says the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works follow them.« ¹⁴ I saw a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. ¹⁵ Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud: »Thrust in your sickle, and reap! The time has come for you to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.« ¹⁶ He who sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
