⁹ Much more then, having now been justified ^[a](A)by His blood, we shall be saved ^(B)from the wrath of God through Him.

²⁷ And just as ^(A)it is destined for people to die once, and after this ^(B)comes judgment, ²⁸ so Christ also, having been ^(C)offered once to ^(D)bear the sins of many, will appear ^(E)a second time for ^(F)salvation ^(G)without reference to sin, to those who ^(H)eagerly await Him.

⁹ For they themselves report about us ^[a]as to the kind of ^(A)reception we had with you, and how you ^(B)turned to God ^(C)from ^[b]idols to serve ^[c](D)a living and true God, ¹⁰ and to ^(E)wait for His Son from ^[d]heaven, whom He ^(F)raised from the dead, that is, Jesus who ^(G)rescues us from ^(H)the wrath to come.

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)testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not ^(F)worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the ^(G)mark on their foreheads and on their hands; 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 completed. ^(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 power, but they will be ^(M)priests of God and of Christ, and will ^(N)reign with Him for a thousand years.
