1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13But 1we do not wantG2309 you to be uninformedG50, brothersG80 and sisters, aboutG4012 thoseG3588 who 23areG2837 asleepG2837, soG2443 thatG2443 you will not grieveG3076 as indeedG2532 4the restG3062 of mankind do, who haveG2192 5noG3361 hopeG1680.
14For ifG1487 we believeG4100 that JesusG2424 diedG599 and roseG450 from the dead, 6soG3779 alsoG2532 GodG2316 will bringG71 with Him 7thoseG3588 who have fallenG2837 asleepG2837 8throughG1223 JesusG2424.
15For we sayG3004 thisG3778 to you 9by the wordG3056 of the LordG2962, that 10we who areG2198 aliveG2198 11and remainG4035 untilG1519 12the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 will not precedeG5348 13thoseG3588 who have fallenG2837 asleepG2837.
16For the LordG2962 14HimselfG846 15will descendG2597 from heavenG3772 with a 1617shoutG2752, with the voiceG5456 of 18the archangelG743 and with the 19trumpetG4536 of GodG2316, and 20the deadG3498 in ChristG5547 will riseG450 firstG4413.
17ThenG1899 21we who areG2198 aliveG2198, who remainG4035, will be 22caughtG726 up togetherG260 with them 23in the cloudsG3507 to meetG529 the LordG2962 in the airG109, and soG3779 we will alwaysG3842 24be with the LordG2962.
18ThereforeG5620, 25comfortG3870 oneG240 anotherG240 with theseG3778 wordsG3056.
