1 Thessalonians 4:14-16
New King James Version
14 For (A)if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him (B)those who [a]sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you (C)by the word of the Lord, that (D)we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are [b]asleep. 16 For (E)the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with (F)the trumpet of God. (G)And the dead in Christ will rise first.

New International Version
14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again,(A) and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.(B) 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord,(C) will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.(D) 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,(E) with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel(F) and with the trumpet call of God,(G) and the dead in Christ will rise first.(H)
