1 Thessalonians 4:15-17

^{Tools
15} For this we say to you ^(A)by the word of the Lord, that ^(B)we who are alive ^(a)and remain until ^(C)the coming of the Lord, will not precede ^(D)those who have fallen asleep. ^{Tools
16} For the Lord ^(E)Himself ^(F)will descend from heaven with a ^(b)^(G)shout, with the voice of ^(H)the archangel and with the ^(I)trumpet of God, and ^(J)the dead in Christ will rise first. ^{Tools
17} Then ^(K)we who are alive ^(c)and remain will be ^(L)caught up together with them ^(M)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always ^(N)be with the Lord.
