It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting. That is the end for all men and the living takes it to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness the appearance of the heart is made better. The heart (feelings) of the wise is in the house of mourning. The heart of fools is in the house of rejoicing.
I do not want you to be ignorant brothers, concerning those who are asleep (in death). You do not need to sorrow like others who have no hope. If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus. We tell you this by God's Word, that we who are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not precede those who are asleep. read more.
For the Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ will rise first. We that are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so will we ever be with the Lord. Comfort one another with these words.
