1 Thessalonians 4:13-15

New Century Version

The Lord’s Coming

¹³ Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about those Christians who have died so you will not be sad, as others who have no hope. ¹⁴ We believe that Jesus died and that he rose again. So, because of him, God will raise with Jesus those who have died. ¹⁵ What we tell you now is the Lord’s own message. We who are living when the Lord comes again will not go before those who have already died.
