Do Not Grieve Over The Dead In Christ. We Will Rise Together To Be With Him Forever

13 And we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, concerning the ones falling-asleep[a], in-order-that you may not grieve as indeed the others— the ones not having a hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose-up, so also[b] God will bring with Him the ones having fallen asleep through[c] Jesus. 15 For we say this to you by the word of the Lord, that we— the ones living, the ones remaining[d] until the coming of the Lord— will in-no-way precede the ones having fallen asleep.
