Revelation 7:9-12
New King James Version
A Multitude from the Great Tribulation
9 After these things I looked, and behold, (A)a great multitude which no one could number, (B)of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, (C)clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, (D)“Salvation belongs to our God (E)who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 (F)All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and (G)worshiped God, 12 (H)saying:
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”
Revelation 5:6-14
New King James Version
6 And I looked, [a]and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood (A)a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and (B)seven eyes, which are (C)the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand (D)of Him who sat on the throne.
Worthy Is the Lamb
8 Now when He had taken the scroll, (E)the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the (F)prayers of the saints. 9 And (G)they sang a new song, saying:
(H)“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And (I)have redeemed us to God (J)by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made [b]us (K)kings[c] and (L)priests to our God;
And [d]we shall reign on the earth.”
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
13 And (M)every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
(N)“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him (O)who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and [e]ever!”
14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the [f]twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped [g]Him who lives forever and ever.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17
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.

Romans 8:17-23
New King James Version
17 and if children, then (A)heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, (B)if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
From Suffering to Glory
18 For I consider that (C)the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For (D)the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For (E)the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of [a]corruption into the glorious (F)liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation (G)groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have (H)the firstfruits of the Spirit, (I)even we ourselves groan (J)within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the (K)redemption of our body.
