1 Thessalonians 413ff

• 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant,
  brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that
  ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
  14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
  again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus
  will God bring with him.
• 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the
  Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the
  coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede)
  them which are asleep.

7
1 Thessalonians 416ff

• 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. 18 Wherefore comfort one another
  with these words.

THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH

• 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work
  of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of
  Christ 13 Till we all come in the unity of the
  faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
  unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the
  stature of the fulness of Christ 14 That we
  henceforth be no more children, tossed to and
  fro, and carried about with every wind of
  doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning
  craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive
  15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up
  into him in all things, which is the head, even
  Christ 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined
  together and compacted by that which every joint
  supplieth, according to the effectual working in
  the measure of every part, maketh increase of the
  body unto the edifying of itself in love.
  Eph.412-16

50
ROMANS 1311-14

• 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is
  high time to awake out of sleep for now is our
  salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The
  night is far spent, the day is at hand let us
  therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let
  us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk
  honestly, as in the day not in rioting and
  drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness,
  not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the
  Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the
  flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

51
ROMANS 58-11

• 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in
  that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for
  us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his
  blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
  10 For if, when we were enemies, we were
  reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much
  more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his
  life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God
  through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have
  now received the atonement.
