1 Thessalonians 4:17 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 4
15 Voici, en effet, ce que nous vous déclarons d’après la parole du Seigneur: nous les vivants, restés pour l’avènement du Seigneur, nous ne devancerons pas ceux qui sont morts.
16 Car le Seigneur lui-même, à un signal donné, à la voix d’un archange, et au son de la trompette de Dieu, descendra du ciel, et les morts en Christ ressusciteront premièrement.
17 Ensuite, nous les vivants, qui serons restés, nous serons tous ensemble enlevés avec eux sur des nuées, à la rencontre du Seigneur dans les airs, et ainsi nous serons toujours avec le Seigneur.
18 Consolez-vous donc les uns les autres par ces paroles.
