帖撒罗尼迦前书 4:13-17
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
复活的盼望
13 弟兄姊妹，关于安息的信徒[a]，我不愿意你们一无所知，免得你们像那些没有盼望的人一样悲伤。 14 我们既然相信耶稣死了，又复活了，也要相信上帝必把那些安息的信徒和耶稣一同带来。
15 我们把主耶稣的话告诉你们：主再来的那天，我们还活着的人不会比已安息的信徒先见到主。 16 因为主必在号令声、天使长的呼喊声和上帝的号角声中亲自从天降临，已经离世的基督徒必先复活。 17 然后，我们还活着的人要和他们一起被提到云里，在空中与主相会，永远和主在一起。

帖 撒 羅 尼 迦 前 書 4:13-17
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
主即将来临
13 兄弟们，我们希望你们了解那些死者的情况，免得你们像其余没有盼望的人一样悲伤和失望。 14 既然我们相信耶稣死后又复活了，那么，我们也相信上帝将会使那些信仰过耶稣的死者与他一起复活。 15 我们现在告诉你们来自主的信息，当主再来时，我们这些活着的人绝对不会比那些死者先与主同在。 16 当响亮的命令伴随着大天使的声音和上帝的号角发出时，主将亲自从天而降。那些信仰过主的死者将会首先复活， 17 然后我们这些活着的人才会与他一起被升到云端，在空中与主相会。从此我们将与主永远同在。

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17
1599 Geneva Bible
13 ¶ [a]I would not brethren, have you ignorant [b]concerning them [c]which are asleep, that ye sorrow not even as others which have no hope.
14 [d]For if we believe that Jesus is dead, and is risen, even so them which sleep in [e]Jesus, will God [f]bring with him.
15 [g]For this say we unto you by the [h]word of the Lord, that [i]we which live, and are remaining in the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which sleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a [j]shout, and with the voice of the Archangel, and (A)with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then shall we which live and remain, be [k]caught up with them also in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
