1 Thessalonians 4:13-17

13But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are fallen asleep, to the end that ye be not grieved even as also the rest who have no hope.

14For if we believe that Jesus has died and has risen again, so also 1God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.

15(For this we say to you in [the] word of [the] Lord, that we, the living, who remain to the coming of the Lord, are in no way to anticipate those who have fallen asleep;

16for the Lord himself, with an assembling shout, with archangel's voice and with trump of 2God, shall descend from heaven; and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

17then we, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them in [the] clouds, to meet the Lord in [the] air; and thus we shall be always with [the] Lord.
