Some scriptures that are often interpreted to support the concept of "soul sleep" include Ecclesiastes 9:5 ("For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing"), 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 ("Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death"), and John 11:11-14 (Jesus referring to death as sleep). These verses are used to suggest that the soul is unconscious or inactive after death until the resurrection.
