1 Thessalonians 4:14-16

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 ^cby a word from the Lord, ^{▼▼Or by the word of the Lord} that ^ewe who are alive, who are left until ^fthe coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For ^gthe Lord himself will descend ^hfrom heaven ⁱwith a cry of command, with the voice of ^jan archangel, and ^kwith the sound of the trumpet of God. And ^lthe dead in Christ will rise first.
