14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again¹ and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.² 15 According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord,³ will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.⁴ 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,⁵ with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel⁶ and with the trumpet call of God,⁷ and the dead in Christ will rise first.⁸ 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left⁹ will be caught up together with them in the clouds¹⁰ to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord¹¹ forever.
