And I heard a voice from heaven telling me to write, “Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labors, for their deeds will follow them.”

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

I heard the voice from heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.”

And{G2532} I heard{G191}{(G5656)} a voice{G5456} from{G1537} heaven{G3772} saying{G3004}{(G5723)} unto me{G3427}, Write{G1125}{(G5657)}, Blessed{G3107} are the dead{G3498} which{G3588} die{G599}{(G5723)} in{G1722} the Lord{G2962} from henceforth{G534}: Yea{G3483}, saith{G3004}{(G5719)} the Spirit{G4151}, that{G2443} they may rest{G373}{(G5672)} from{G1537} their{G846} labours{G2873}; and{G1161} their{G846} works{G2041} do follow{G190}{(G5719)}{G3326} them{G846}.

Strong's King James

(13) I heard a voice from the sky, saying, "Write, blessed! The ones who die in אָדוֹן Adonai from now! Yes! Says The רוּחַ Ruach, in order that they may rest refreshed from their labours because their works follow with them."

The F.O.G
[13] Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." The Spirit adds, "Yes, they will rest from their labors, for their deeds will follow them." Even martyrdom becomes victory through resurrection hope.
The F.O.G Paraphrase

And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, ‘Write: Happy are the dead who in the Lord are dying from this time!’ ‘Yes, (saith the Spirit,) That they may rest from their labours—and their works do follow them!’
