15 According to the Lord's
word, we tell you that we who
are still alive, who are left
until the coming of the Lord,
will certainly not precede those
who have fallen asleep. 16 For
the Lord himself will come down
from heaven, with a loud command,
with the voice of the archangel
and with the trumpet call of God,
and the dead in Christ will rise
first. 17 After that, we who are
still alive and are left will
be caught up together with them
in the clouds to meet the Lord
in the air. And so we will be
with the Lord forever.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 |
