And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 14 of Revelation. A third angel warns against worshiping the beast and receiving its mark. The judgment of those who participate in the beast’s worship is described with intense images of fire and sulfur. Immediately afterward, the text contrasts that sentence with the perseverance of the saints, who keep God’s commandments and the faith of Jesus. A voice declares blessed those who die in the Lord, because they rest from their labors and their works follow them. Faithfulness is thus linked with rest and remembrance before God.

Und ich hörte eine Stimme vom Himmel zu mir sagen: Schreibe: Selig sind die Toten, die in dem HERRN sterben von nun an. Ja, der Geist spricht, daß sie ruhen von ihrer Arbeit; denn ihre Werke folgen ihnen nach.
Y oí una voz del cielo que me decía: Escribe: Bienaventurados los muertos que de aquí adelante mueren en el Señor. Sí, dice el Espíritu, que descansarán de sus trabajos; porque sus obras con ellos siguen.
Oí una voz del cielo que decía: «Escribe: bienaventurados los muertos que de ahora en adelante mueren en el Señor». «Sí —dice el Espíritu—, descansarán de sus fatigas, porque sus obras los acompañan».
Et j'entendis du ciel une voix qui disait: Ecris: Heureux dès à présent les morts qui meurent dans le Seigneur! Oui, dit l'Esprit, afin qu'ils se reposent de leurs travaux, car leurs oeuvres les suivent.
Poi io udii dal cielo una voce che mi diceva: Scrivi: Beati i morti, che per l’innanzi muoiono nel Signore; sì certo, dice lo Spirito; acciocchè si riposino delle lor fatiche; e le loro opere li seguitano.
E ouvi uma voz do céu, que me dizia: Escreve: Bem-aventurados os mortos que desde agora morrem no Senhor. Sim, diz o Espírito, para que descansem dos seus trabalhos, e as suas obras os seguem.
我聽見從天上有聲音說:「你要寫下:從今以後,在主裏死去的人有福了。」聖靈說:「是的,他們要從自己的勞苦中得安息,因為工作的成果永隨著他們。」
