Revelation 20:4-6
New King James Version
The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years
4 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. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 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.

The Great White Throne Judgment
11 Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face (A)the earth and the heaven fled away. (B)And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, (C)small and great, standing before [a]God, (D)and books were opened. And another (E)book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged (F)according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, (G)and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. (H)And they were judged, each one according to his works. 14 Then (I)Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. (J)This is the second [b]death. 15 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life (K)was cast into the lake of fire.
