This agrees with what the Lord has said. When the Lord comes, many of us will still be alive. We tell you that we will certainly not go up before those who have died.

我以主言告爾、迨主臨時、我儕生存者、不先乎已寢者、

我奉主命而言、迨主臨日、我儕尚生存、必不先諸死者起、

我儕以主之言告爾、迨主降臨時、我儕尚生者、必不先乎已死之人、

抑又有進者、按主之言、即同道中於主重臨之日、尚存人世者、亦必不能較已亡者早達天國。

According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died.

For we say this to you by a word from the Lord: We who are still alive at the Lord’s coming will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

For we say this to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.

Listen! I am telling you a mystery. We will not all die. But we will all be changed.That will happen in a flash, as quickly as you can wink an eye. It will happen at the blast of the last trumpet. Then the dead will be raised to live forever. And we will be changed.Our natural bodies don’t last forever. They must be dressed with what does last forever. What dies must be dressed with what does not die.

We know that God raised the Lord Jesus from the dead. And he will also raise us up with Jesus. And he will present both you and us to himself.

Lord, I cry out to you for help. In the morning I pray to you.

I get up before the sun rises. I cry out for help. I’ve put my hope in your word.My eyes stay open all night long. I spend my time thinking about your promises.

What is our hope? What is our joy? When our Lord Jesus returns, what is the crown we will delight in? Isn’t it you?

I’ve received a message from the Lord. He told me,‘ Do not eat bread or drink water there. Do not return the same way you came.’ ”The old prophet answered,“ I’m also a prophet, just like you. An angel gave me a message from the Lord. The message said,‘ Bring the man of God back with you to your house. Then he can eat bread and drink water with you.’ ” But the old prophet was telling him a lie.

The Lord gave me a command. He said,‘ Do not eat bread or drink water there. Do not return the same way you came.’ ”

There was a group of people called the group of the prophets. A message from the Lord came to one of their members. He said to his companion,“ Strike me down with your weapon.” But he wouldn’t do it.

A man of God went from Judah to Bethel. He had received a message from the Lord. He arrived in Bethel just as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to offer a sacrifice.

“ Yes, he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus spoke first.“ What do you think, Simon?” he asked.“ Who do the kings of the earth collect taxes and fees from? Do they collect them from their own children or from others?”

Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything on earth belongs to me.

But Micaiah said,“ You can be sure that the Lord lives. And here is something you can be just as sure of. I can only tell the king what the Lord tells me to say.”

You came back here and ate bread and drank water. You did it in the place where I told you not to. So your body will not be buried in your family tomb.’ ”
