⁴ Then I saw ^(A)thrones, and ^(B)they sat on them, and ^(C)judgment was given to them. And I saw ^(D)the souls of those who had been beheaded because of ^[a]their ^(E)testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not ^(F)worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the ^(G)mark on their foreheads and on their hands; and they ^(H)came to life and ^(I)reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

⁵ And ^(A)there will no longer be any night; and they ^[a]will not have need ^(B)of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them; and they will ^(C)reign forever and ever.
