16. Dynamic Translation For the Lord {Kyrios, Returning Savior} Himself will come down from heaven in a powerful shout, with the voice of an archangel and the trumpet call of God {Theos, Cosmic Summoner}; then those who have died in Christ {Christos, Hope of Resurrection} will be raised to life first. |
