he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and
carry them in his bosom, and shall gently
lead those that are with young.

CHAPTER 3:
BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father
hath bestowed upon us, that we should be
called the sons of God: therefore the world
knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God,
and it doth not yet appear what we shall
be: but we know that, when he shall
appear, we shall be like him; for we shall
see him as he is.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to
take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

CHAPTER 2:
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the
glorious appearing of the great God and
our Saviour Jesus Christ;

TO THE CORINTHIANS.
CHAPTER 15:
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We
shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put
on incorruption, and this mortal shall have
put on immortality, then shall be brought
to pass the saying that is written, Death is
swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave,
where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the
strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us
the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

CHAPTER 4:
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 them which are asleep.
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.
