John 11:47-52
English Standard Version
47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees (A)gathered (B)the council and said, (C)“What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and (D)the Romans will come and take away both our (E)place and our nation.” 49 But one of them, (F)Caiaphas, (G)who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. 50 Nor do you understand that (H)it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but (I)being high priest that year (J)he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and (K)not for the nation only, but also (L)to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
English Standard Version
The Coming of the Lord
13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, (A)that you may not grieve as others do (B)who have no hope. 14 For (C)since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him (D)those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you (E)by a word from the Lord,[a] that (F)we who are alive, who are left until (G)the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For (H)the Lord himself will descend (I)from heaven (J)with a cry of command, with the voice of (K)an archangel, and (L)with the sound of the trumpet of God. And (M)the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be (N)caught up together with them (O)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so (P)we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
