1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
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,1 will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.2
16
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,3 with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel4 and with the trumpet call of God,5 and the dead in Christ will rise first.6
17
After that, we who are still alive and are left7 will be caught up together with them in the clouds8 to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord9 forever.
