However we don’t need you to be uninformed, brothers, about those that are asleep, that you could be not grieve as others do who don’t have any hope. For since we imagine that Jesus died and rose once more, even so, by Jesus, God will deliver with him those that have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a phrase from the Lord, that we who’re alive, who’re left till the approaching of the Lord, won’t precede those that have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the useless in Christ will rise first. Then we who’re alive, who’re left, shall be caught up along with them within the clouds to satisfy the Lord within the air, and so we’ll at all times be with the Lord. Due to this fact encourage each other with these phrases. —1 Thessalonians 4:13–18
