1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
New King James Version
The Comfort of Christ’s Coming
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen [a]asleep, lest you sorrow (A)as others (B)who have no hope. 14 For (C)if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him (D)those who [b]sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you (E)by the word of the Lord, that (F)we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are [c]asleep. 16 For (G)the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with (H)the trumpet of God. (I)And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 (J)Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them (K)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus (L)we shall always be with the Lord. 18 (M)Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Jesus Ascends to Heaven(A)
9 (B)Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, (C)He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them (D)in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, (E)will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

5 and from Jesus Christ, (A)the faithful (B)witness, the (C)firstborn from the dead, and (D)the ruler over the kings of the earth.
To Him (E)who [a]loved us (F)and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has (G)made us [b]kings and priests to His God and Father, (H)to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, He is coming with (I)clouds, and every eye will see Him, even (J)they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
