1Thessalonians:4:13-5

*
But I would not have you ignorant ,
brothers ,
about those who are falling asleep .
You must not sorrow like other men ,
who have no hope .
*
For if we really believe that Jesus died and rose again ,
so even so will God through Jesus bring with him those also who have fallen asleep .
*
For this I tell you by the word of the Lord ,
that we who are living ,
who survive unto the coming of the Lord ,
will in no wise precede those who have fallen asleep .
*
For the Lord himself with a shout ,
with the voice of an archangel ,
and with the trumpet of God will descend from heaven .
Then the dead in Christ will rise first .
*
And afterwards we who are alive ,
who remain ,
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds ,
to meet the Lord in the air ;
and so shall we ever be with the Lord .
*
So comfort one another with these words .
