1 Thessalonians 4:13-17
13But 1we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who 23are asleep, so that you will not grieve as indeed 4the rest of mankind do, who have 5no hope.
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose from the dead, 6so also God will bring with Him 7those who have fallen asleep 8through Jesus.
15For we say this to you 9by the word of the Lord, that 10we who are alive 11and remain until 12the coming of the Lord will not precede 13those who have fallen asleep.
16For the Lord 14Himself 15will descend from heaven with a 1617shout, with the voice of 18the archangel and with the 19trumpet of God, and 20the dead in Christ will rise first.
17Then 21we who are alive, who remain, will be 22caught up together with them 23in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always 24be with the Lord.
