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)
