1 Thessalonians 4:14

12 ^athat you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

The Comfort of Christ’s Coming

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen¹ asleep, lest you sorrow ^aas others ^bwho have no hope.

14 For ^aif we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him ^bthose who sleep in Jesus.

15 For this we say to you ^aby the word of the Lord, that ^bwe who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are¹ asleep.

16 For ^athe Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with ^bthe trumpet of God. ^cAnd the dead in Christ will rise first.

17 ^aThen we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them ^bin the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus ^cwe shall always be with the Lord.

18 ^aTherefore comfort one another with these words.
