But concerning those who have fallen asleep, I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that you may not grieve, as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also should we believe that God will, through Jesus, bring with him those who sleep. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we, the living, who remain till the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who are asleep read more.
for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall arise first; then we, the living who remain, shall, together with them, be caught up in clouds into the air to meet the Lord, and so shall we be ever with the Lord. So, then, comfort one another with these words.

But now, Christ has risen from the dead, the first-fruits of those who slept. For, since through man came death, through man comes also the resurrection of the dead. For, as in Adam all die, so, also, in Christ shall all be made alive: read more.

And the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him, and put a question to him, saying: Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If any man's brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children, his brother shall take his wife, and raise up children for his brother. Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and dying, left no child; read more.
and the second took her, and he died, and left no child; and the third, likewise; and the seven took her, and left no child. Last of all, the woman also died. Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, of which of them shall she be the wife? for the seven had her as a wife. And Jesus answered and said to them: Do you not err for this reason, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels in heaven. But concerning the dead, that they do rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, at The Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Therefore, you do greatly err.

On that day there came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they put a question to him, saying: Teacher, Moses commanded, If any one die without children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother. Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died; and, having no child, left his wife to his brother. read more.
In like manner also the second, and the third, to the seventh. Last of all, the woman also died. Therefore, in the resurrection, of which of the seven will she be the wife? for they all had her. Jesus answered and said to them: You err, because you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. But, concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

Then there came to him some of the Sadducees, (these deny that there is any resurrection,) and asked him, saying: Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up children for his brother. There were, therefore, seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died without children; read more.
and the second took his wife, and he died without children; and the third took her; and in like manner also the seven; and they left no children, and died. Last of all, the woman also died. Therefore, in the resurrection, of which of them shall she be the wife? for the seven had her as a wife. And Jesus answered and said to them: The children of this age marry, and are given in marriage. But those who shall be accounted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. For they can die no more; for they are like the angels, and are the sons of God, being the sons of the resurrection. But: that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at The Bush, since he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.

Now, this I say, brethren, the time is fraught with trials. It remains that those who have wives be as though they had them not; and those who weep, as though they wept not; and those who rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and those who buy, as though they possessed not: and those who use this world, as not abusing it; for the outward show of this world passes away.

If, then, you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where the Christ sits at the right hand of God; mind the things that are above, not the things that are on the earth:
