and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who trieth our hearts.

and charged you, that ye should walk worthy of God, who hath called you to his kingdom and glory.

who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; who are displeasing to God, and contrary to all men:

not in the passion of lust, like the heathens who know not God.

He therefore who rejecteth us, rejecteth not man, but God; who hath given us his holy Spirit.

But I would not have you ignorant, my brethren, concerning those that are fallen asleep, that ye may not be grieved like others who have no hope:

For this we tell you in the word of the Lord, that we who shall be living and remain to the coming of the Lord, shall not be before those that are asleep.

then we who are living and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we for ever be with the Lord.

but let us, who are of the day, be sober; putting on the breast-plate of faith and love, and for an helmet the hope of salvation.

who died for us, that whether we be awake, or asleep, we may live together with Him.

Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.
