For If We Believe That Jesus

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1 Thess IV.14

Herbert Northcote

This is the full verse from 1 Thessalonians 4:14:
"For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."

To give more information below is 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18

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.

This verse and the subsequent verses are deeply touching about death and looking forward to seeing those lost again.
