^26 (A)Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

¹⁵ For this we say to you ^(A)by the word of the Lord, that ^(B)we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are ^[a]asleep. ¹⁶ For ^(C)the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with ^(D)the trumpet of God. ^(E)And the dead in Christ will rise first. ^17 (F)Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them ^(G)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus ^(H)we shall always be with the Lord.
