¹⁵ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are still living at the coming of the Lord, will not go before those who are sleeping.

⁵¹ See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed.

⁵² In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed.

⁵³ For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life.

¹⁴ Because we are certain that he who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead, will do the same for us, and will give us a place in his glory with you.

¹⁹ For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not even you, before our Lord Jesus, at his coming?

²⁵ He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth get payment or tax? from their sons or from other people?

¹⁴⁷ Before the sun is up, my cry for help comes to your ear; my hope is in your words.

¹⁴⁸ In the night watches I am awake, so that I may give thought to your saying.

³⁵ And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Give me a wound. But the man would not.

¹¹ Smoke comes out of his nose, like a pot boiling on the fire.

¹⁴ And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.

²² But have come back, and have taken food and water in this place where he said you were to take no food or water; your dead body will not be put to rest with your fathers.

¹⁷ For the Lord said to me, You are not to take food or water there, or go back again by the way you came.

¹⁸ Then he said to him, I am a prophet like you; and an angel said to me by the word of the Lord, Take him back with you and give him food and water. But he said false words to him.

⁹ For so I was ordered by the word of the Lord, who said, You are not to take food or a drink of water, and you are not to go back the way you came.

¹ Then a man of God came from Judah by the order of the Lord to Beth-el, where Jeroboam was by the altar, burning offerings.
