Revelation 20:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
The Saints Reign with Christ
4 Then I saw thrones, and people seated on them who were given authority to judge.(A) I also saw the souls of those(B) who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus(C) and because of the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not accepted the mark on their foreheads or their hands.(D) They came to life(E) and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.(F) 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed.
This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed(G) and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! The second death(H) has no power[a] over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.(I)

Revelation 20:4-6
New Living Translation
4 Then I saw thrones, and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
5 This is the first resurrection. (The rest of the dead did not come back to life until the thousand years had ended.) 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. For them the second death holds no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him a thousand years.
