1 Thessalonians 4:15-17

American Standard Version

¹⁵ For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the ^[a]coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep. ¹⁶ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; ¹⁷ then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
