Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,

Brothers and sisters, we want to ask you something. It has to do with the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. It concerns the time when we will go to be with him.

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers,

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him: We ask you, brothers and sisters,

Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,

Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him;

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to Him: We ask you, brothers,

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and[ by] our gathering together unto him,

Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,

Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you

And he will send out his angels to gather his chosen ones from all over the world— from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.

For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died.For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves.Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever.

And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world— from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven.

After all, what gives us hope and joy, and what will be our proud reward and crown as we stand before our Lord Jesus when he returns? It is you!

I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he comes to set up his Kingdom:

May he, as a result, make your hearts strong, blameless, and holy as you stand before God our Father when our Lord Jesus comes again with all his holy people. Amen.

All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from his descendants, until the coming of the one to whom it belongs, the one whom all nations will honor.

And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ— everything in heaven and on earth.

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice— the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
