PAROUSIA 1 Thessalonians 4: 14-15

  • For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so,
  • through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died.
  • For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord,
  • that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord,
  • will by no means precede those who have died.
