sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is

16. For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God and the
dead in Christ shall rise first 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.
