²⁴ then comes the end, when He hands over ^(A)the kingdom to our ^(B)God and Father, when He has abolished ^(C)all rule and all authority and power.

²⁸ When ^(A)all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that ^(B)God may be all in all.

²⁸ so Christ also, having been ^(A)offered once to ^(B)bear the sins of many, will appear ^(C)a second time for ^(D)salvation ^(E)without reference to sin, to those who ^(F)eagerly await Him.

⁹ These people will pay the penalty of ^(A)eternal destruction, ^(B)away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

¹⁰ when He comes to be ^(A)glorified among His ^[a]saints on that ^(B)day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—because our ^(C)testimony to you was believed.

¹⁵ For we say this to you ^(A)by the word of the Lord, that ^(B)we who are alive ^[a]and remain until ^(C)the coming of the Lord will not precede ^(D)those who have fallen asleep. ¹⁶ For the Lord ^(E)Himself ^(F)will descend from heaven with a ^[b](G)shout, with the voice of ^(H)the archangel and with the ^(I)trumpet of God, and ^(J)the dead in Christ will rise first. ¹⁷ Then ^(K)we who are alive, who remain, will be ^(L)caught up together with them ^(M)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always ^(N)be with the Lord.

²¹ that they may all be one; ^(A)just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, ^(B)so that the world may ^[a]believe that ^(C)You sent Me.

²⁶ and ^(A)I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that ^(B)the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
