1 Thessalonians 4:14-16 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those having fallen asleep.

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those having fallen asleep. ¹⁵ For this we declare to you in the word of the Lord, that we the living, remaining unto the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those having fallen asleep, ¹⁶ because the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
