except your mother, father, son, daughter, brother,
My friends, we want you to understand how it will be for those followers who have already died. Then you won't grieve over them and be like people who don't have any hope.
Don't have sex with any of your close relatives,
or an unmarried sister, who has no husband to take care of her.
Don't make yourself unclean by going near a dead body, not even that of your own father or mother.
