5 For if we have become united with him* in the likeness of his death,+ we shall certainly also be [united with him in the likeness] of his resurrection;+

8 Moreover, if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.+

17 Afterward we the living who are surviving* will, together* with them,+ be caught away+ in clouds+ to meet+ the Lord* in the air; and thus we shall always be with [the] Lord.*+
