1 Thessalonians 4:14-17
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. 17 (H)Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them (I)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus (J)we shall always be with the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 4:14-17
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) 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left(I) will be caught up together with them in the clouds(J) to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord(K) forever.
1 Corinthians 15:51-53
New King James Version
51 Behold, I tell you a [a]mystery: (A)We shall not all sleep, (B)but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. (C)For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and (D)this mortal must put on immortality.

New King James Version
20 For (A)our citizenship is in heaven, (B)from which we also (C)eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 (D)who will transform our lowly body that it may be (E)conformed to His glorious body, (F)according to the working by which He is able even to (G)subdue all things to Himself.
