Then I saw thrones; those who sat on them were
entrusted with judgment. I also saw the souls of those
who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and
for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the
beast or its image nor had accepted its mark on their
foreheads or hands. They came to life and they reigned
with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead
did not come to life until the thousand years were
over. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is
the one who shares in the first resurrection. The second
death has no power over these; they will be priests
of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him
for (the) thousand years.
