And we wish you not to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those that have fallen asleep, that you may not grieve as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also will God bring with him those that have fallen asleep on account of Jesus. For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who live and remain till the coming of the Lord, shall not anticipate those that have fallen asleep, read more.
for the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we the living who remain shall be caught up together with them in clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall be always with the Lord. Comfort one another, therefore, with these words.















In which you rejoice, though now for a little while if need be made sad by manifold trials, that the trial of your faith, which is much more precious than gold that is destroyed but proved by fire, may be found to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

Account it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various trials, knowing that the trial of your faith produces patience.
