1 Thessalonians 4:16 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 4

14 Porque si creemos que Jesús murió y resucitó, así también traerá Dios con él á los que durmieron en Jesús.

15 Por lo cual, os decimos esto en palabra del Señor: que nosotros que vivimos, que habremos quedado hasta la venida del Señor, no seremos delanteros á los que durmieron.

16 Porque el mismo Señor con aclamación, con voz de arcángel, y con trompeta de Dios, descenderá del cielo; y los muertos en Cristo resucitarán primero:

17 Luego nosotros, los que vivimos, los que quedamos, juntamente con ellos seremos arrebatados en las nubes á recibir al Señor en el aire, y así estaremos siempre con el Señor.

18 Por tanto, consolaos los unos á los otros en estas palabras.
