1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁶ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout,^[a](A) with the archangel’s^(B) voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ^(C) will rise first. ¹⁷ Then^(D) we who are still alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds^(E) to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. ¹⁸ Therefore encourage^[b] one another with these words.
