The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years

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. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 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.

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as [a]worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years. The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no [b]power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him [c]a thousand years.
