Fratres: Volumus autem vos
ignorare de dormientibus ut
non contristemini sicut et ceteri
qui spem non habent. Si enim
credimus quod Iesus mortuus
est et resurrexit ita et Deus eos
qui dormierunt per Iesum ad-
ducet cum eo. Hoc enim vobis
dicimus in verbo Domini quia
nos qui vivimus qui residui su-
mus in adventum Domini non
praeveniemus eos qui dormi-
erunt. Quoniam ipse Dominus
in iussu et in voce archangeli et
in tuba Dei descendet de caelo
et mortui qui in Christo sunt
resurgent primi. Deinde nos qui
vivimus qui relinquimur simul
rapiemur cum illis in nubibus
obviam Domino in aera et sic
semper cum Domino erimus.
Itaque consolamini invicem in
verbis istis.
Verbum Domini.
Deo gratias.
We do not want you to be una-
ware, brothers, about those who
have fallen asleep, so that you
may not grieve like the rest, who
have no hope. For if we believe
that Jesus died and rose, so too
will God, through Jesus, bring
with him those who have fallen
asleep. Indeed, we tell you this,
on the word of the Lord, that we
who are alive, who are left until
the coming of the Lord, will
surely not precede those who
have fallen asleep. For the Lord
himself, with a word of com-
mand, with the voice of an arch-
angel and with the trumpet of
God, will come down from heav-
en, and the dead in Christ will
rise first. Then we who are alive,
who are left, will be caught up
together with them in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air. Thus
we shall always be with the
Lord. Therefore, console one an-
other with these words.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
