Concerning Them Which Are Asleep
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For id we believe that Jesus dies and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descent from Heaven with a shout, with a voice of the archangel and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with the in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
(I Thessalonians 4, 13—18)
