⁸ Now ^(A)if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

¹¹ The saying is ^(A)trustworthy, for:

^10 (A)always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, ^(B)so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. ¹¹ For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. ¹² So ^(C)death is at work in us, but life in you.

¹³ Since we have ^(D)the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, ^(E)“I believed, and so I spoke,” we also believe, and so we also speak, ¹⁴ knowing that ^(F)he who raised the Lord Jesus ^(G)will raise us also with Jesus and ^(H)bring us with you into his presence.

^19 (A)Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but ^(B)you will see me. ^(C)Because I live, you also will live.

³ For ^(A)you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ ^(B)who is your^[a] life ^(C)appears, then you also will appear with him ^(D)in glory.

⁴ For ^(A)he was crucified in weakness, but ^(B)lives by the power of God. For ^(C)we also are weak in him, but in dealing with you ^(D)we will live with him by the power of God.

³ Do you not know that all of us ^(A)who have been baptized ^(B)into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? ⁴ We were ^(C)buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as ^(D)Christ was raised from the dead by ^(E)the glory of the Father, we too might walk in ^(F)newness of life.

⁵ For ^(G)if we have been united with him in ^(H)a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

¹⁴ For ^(A)since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him ^(B)those who have fallen asleep. ¹⁵ For this we declare to you ^(C)by a word from the Lord,^[a] that ^(D)we who are alive, who are left until ^(E)the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. ¹⁶ For ^(F)the Lord himself will descend ^(G)from heaven ^(H)with a cry of command, with the voice of ^(I)an archangel, and ^(J)with the sound of the trumpet of God. And ^(K)the dead in Christ will rise first. ¹⁷ Then we who are alive, who are left, will be ^(L)caught up together with them ^(M)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so ^(N)we will always be with the Lord.
