For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

\w For|strong="G1063"\w* \w if|strong="G1487"\w* \w we|strong="G3754"\w* \w believe|strong="G4100"\w* \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w Jesus|strong="G2424"\w* \w died|strong="G2837"\w* \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w rose|strong="G2532"\w* \w again|strong="G2532"\w*, \w even|strong="G2532"\w* \w so|strong="G3779"\w* \w them|strong="G3588"\w* \w also|strong="G2532"\w* \w that|strong="G3754"\w* \w are|strong="G3588"\w* \w fallen|strong="G2837"\w* \w asleep|strong="G2837"\w* \w in|strong="G2532"\w* \w Jesus|strong="G2424"\w* \w will|strong="G2316"\w* \w God|strong="G2316"\w* \w bring|strong="G2532"\w* \w with|strong="G4862"\w* \w him|strong="G3588"\w*.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
