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.

^6 (A)Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the ^(B)second death has no power, but they will be ^(C)priests of God and of Christ, and will ^(D)reign with Him for a thousand years.
