Revelation 20:1-6
New American Standard Bible 1995
Satan Bound
20 Then I saw (A)an angel coming down from heaven, holding the (B)key of the abyss and a great chain [a]in his hand. 2 And he laid hold of the (C)dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and (D)bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he threw him into the (E)abyss, and shut it and (F)sealed it over him, so that he would (G)not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.
4 Then I saw (H)thrones, and (I)they sat on them, and (J)judgment was given to them. And I saw (K)the souls of those who had been beheaded because of [b]their (L)testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not (M)worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the (N)mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they (O)came to life and (P)reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. (Q)This is the first resurrection. 6 (R)Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the (S)second death has no power, but they will be (T)priests of God and of Christ and will (U)reign with Him for a thousand years.

Marriage of the Lamb
7 Let us rejoice and be glad and (A)give the glory to Him, for (B)the marriage of the Lamb has come and His [a](C)bride has made herself ready.” 8 It was given to her to clothe herself in (D)fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the (E)righteous acts of the [b]saints.
9 Then (F)he *said to me, “(G)Write, ‘(H)Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’” And he *said to me, “(I)These are true words of God.”
