1 Thessalonians 4:13-15

Young's Literal Translation

¹³ And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, that ye may not sorrow, as also the rest who have not hope,

¹⁴ for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him,

¹⁵ for this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who are living -- who do remain over to the presence of the Lord -- may not precede those asleep,
