Bible verse
For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.
1 Thessalonians 4:14 · BSB
The verses around it, from 1 Thessalonians 4.
10 And you are indeed showing this love to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to excel more and more
11 and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.
12 Then you will behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone.
13 Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.
14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.
15 By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.
16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
17 After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
