The Coming of the Lord

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, athat you may not grieve as others do bwho have no hope. 14 For asince we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him bthose who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you aby a word from the Lord,1 that bwe who are alive, who are left until cthe coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For athe Lord himself will descend bfrom heaven cwith a cry of command, with the voice of dan archangel, and ewith the sound of the trumpet of God. And fthe dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be acaught up together with them bin the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so cwe will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
