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

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will also bring with Him all those who have fallen asleep through Jesus. ¹⁵ For we say this to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall not go before those who are asleep. ¹⁶ For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first.
