For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shouted command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together at the same time with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

I have waited for your salvation, O Jehovah.

For I know that my Redeemer is alive, and He shall stand at the latter time upon the earth;

Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not a stranger. O how my reins have been exhausted within me!

He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from all faces. And He will take away from all the earth the rebuke of His people. For Jehovah has spoken.

And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God. We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is Jehovah; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.

And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

who also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into Heaven, will so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into Heaven.

whom Heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which God has spoken through the mouth of all His holy prophets since the past ages.

eternal life to those who steadfastly doing good, seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility;

Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

so that you are not lacking in any gift, patiently waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.

But we were gentle among you, just as a nurse cherishes her own children.

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, without sin, unto salvation.

looking for and earnestly hastening unto the coming of the Day of God, through which the heavens will be dissolved, being set on fire, and the elements will melt with intense burning?

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and without blemish;

Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.

whom God raised up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for Him to be held by it.

and killed the Prince of Life, whom God raised up from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in Him this man stands here before you whole.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you laid hands on, hanging Him on a tree.

Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give to Israel repentance and remission of sins.

God raised Him up on the third day, and gave to Him to become manifest,

not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

because He has established a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has appointed. He has given assurance of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.

and defined as the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.

who was delivered up because of our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, but rather is also raised, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

and that He was buried, and that He was raised the third day according to the Scriptures,

After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until the present time, but some have fallen asleep.

Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one of untimely birth.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than every one of them, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain and your faith is also vain.

For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised.

Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

And He is the Head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn out from the dead, that in all things He may be preeminent.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.

For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,

I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree),

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps:

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, Offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him, Offspring of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour those who oppose.
