THE SAINTS REIGN WITH CHRIST

4 Then I saw thrones, and people seated on them who were given authority to judge.i I also saw the souls of thosej who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesusk and because of the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not accepted the mark on their foreheads or their hands.l They came to lifem and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.n 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed.

This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessedo and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! The second deathp has no powerB over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.q
