For this very purpose, that we may not sorrow concerning them that are asleep, even, as others, who have no hope, i. e. ver. 14. If we believe that Jesus died, and rose again; even so, them also, which sleep in Jesus, will God bring with him. For ⟨p. 22⟩ver. 15. this we say to you (and 'tis said by the forementioned Authority, the Lord himself having revealed it to this great Apostle, and directed him to say it) that we who are alive, and remain unto the Coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which are asleep. Ver. 16. For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven wi•h a Shout, with the Voice of the Arch-Angel, and with the T•ump of God; and the Dead in Christ shall rise first. Ver. 17. Then we which are alive, and remain, shall be caught up, together with them, in the Clouds, to meet the Lord in the Air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Ver. 18. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
