 They had never taken into account that He might tarry according to the will of God who would gather fresh souls to the fellowship of His love, while letting the world ripen in iniquity and lawlessness, whether in proud unbelief or in hollow profession, till the apostasy come and the man of sin be revealed. (On 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 by W. Kelly)
 The Apostle, in comforting them with regard to their brethren who had lately died, does not say a word of the survivors rejoining them in heaven. They are maintained in the thought that they were still to look for the Lord during their lifetime to transform them into His glorious image (compare 2 Corinthians 5 and 1 Corinthians 15). (1 Thessalonians 4 by J.N. Darby)
 So filled were they with the expectation of the presence of the Lord, that they had not conceived the possibility of any saints thus passing away. They looked only for His coming, and drew inferences which, not being of the Lord, exposed them, as all human reasonings do, to danger. (On 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 by W. Kelly)
 It is remarkable that the Apostle does not unveil the state of the separate spirit, as we see done in Luke 23:43, Acts 7:59, 2 Cor. 5:8, and Phil. 1:23. He meets fully the error that death in any way destroys or detracts from the blessed hope of the Christian. (On 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 by W. Kelly)
 They were laid to sleep by Jesus; and, far from forgetting or even postponing their joy and blessedness, God will bring them with Jesus in that day. (On 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 by W. Kelly)

It is "we," not "I" as in T. R.

The oldest authorities have "kiomōmenōn." It is the class of those that sleep, character, and not time.
