New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²² As for what you said about those who survive, and concerning those who do not survive,^[a] this is the interpretation:^{(A) 23} The one who brings the peril at that time will protect those who fall into peril, who have works and faith toward the Almighty.^{(B) 24} Understand, therefore, that those who are left are more blessed than those who have died.
