1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
Christian Standard Bible
15 For we say this to you by a word from the Lord:(A) We who are still alive at the Lord’s coming(B) will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.(C) 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout,[a](D) with the archangel’s(E) voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ(F) will rise first. 17 Then(G) we who are still alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds(H) to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

New International Version
15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord,(A) will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.(B) 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,(C) with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel(D) and with the trumpet call of God,(E) and the dead in Christ will rise first.(F) 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left(G) will be caught up together with them in the clouds(H) to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord(I) forever.
