*
But I would not have you to be ignorant ,
brethren ,
concerning them who are asleep ,
that ye sorrow not ,
even as others who have no hope .
*
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again ,
even so them also who sleep in Jesus will God bring with him .
*
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord ,
that we who are alive remain to the coming of the Lord shall not precede them who are asleep . (

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout ,
with the voice of the archangel ,
and with the trumpet of God :
and the dead in Christ shall rise first :
*
Then we who are alive 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 .
*
Therefore comfort one another with these words . (
