Key Observation

The concept_context tool confirms that 1 Thess 4:14 links three central theological concepts: FAITH, DEATH, and RESURRECTION. Paul's other uses of these three concepts together consistently tie "being with the Lord" to the resurrection event, not to an intermediate state. Notably, Rom 13:11 uses "awake out of sleep" (resurrection language) and connects it to salvation timing, reinforcing the sleep-death-resurrection pattern.
