1 Tessalonicenses 4

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
*
A ressurreição de Jesus como base da esperança cristã (1co15:20). Corrobora a crença primitiva na ressurreição, atestada em credos antigos como 1co15:3-4.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
