The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years

And I saw (A)thrones, and they sat on them, and (B)judgment was committed to them. Then I saw (C)the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, (D)who had not worshiped the beast (E)or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they (F)lived and (G)reigned with Christ for [a]a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such (H)the second death has no power, but they shall be (I)priests of God and of Christ, (J)and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
