4 Bible Verses about Grieving With Hope

But we want you to be informed, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep [in death] so that you do not grieve, as other people do [i.e., the unsaved], who have no hope.

Be happy with those who are joyful. Cry with those who are sad.

For I wrote to you out of much distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not in order to grieve you, but that you people might know how very much I love you.

Because of this you can be very joyous, even though it is necessary for you to have suffered many trials for a little while.
