Revelation 20:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 Then I saw (A)thrones, and (B)they sat on them, and (C)judgment was given to them. And I saw (D)the souls of those who had been beheaded because of [a]their (E)witness of Jesus and because of the word of God, and who also had not (F)worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the (G)mark on their forehead and on their hand. And they (H)came to life and (I)reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished. (J)This is the first resurrection. 6 (K)Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection. Over these the (L)second death has no authority, but they will be (M)priests of God and of Christ and will (N)reign with Him for a thousand years.

Revelation 20:4-6
Revised Standard Version
4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.
