This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Be dead (κοιμηθῇ)
Lit., have fallen asleep. See on Act 7:60; see on 2Pe 3:4; compare Rom 7:2, where the usual word for die, ἀποθάνῃ is used. In that passage Paul is discussing the abstract question. Here the inference is more personal, which is perhaps the reason for his using the more tender expression.
