15 This for to you we may say by word of Lord, that we the living ones those being left over to the coming of the Lord, not not may precede those having slept.

16 Because himself the lord with a command, with a voice of a chief messenger, and with a trumpet of God will come down from heaven, and the dead ones in Anointed will be raised first;

17 afterwards we the living ones those being left over at the same time with them shall be caught away in clouds for a meeting of the Lord into air; and so always with Lord shall we be.

18 Therefore comfort you each other in the words these.
