And I saw ^(G)the souls of those who had been beheaded because of ^[a]their ^(H)testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not ^(I)worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the ^(J)mark on their foreheads and on their hands; and they ^(K)came to life and ^(L)reigned with Christ for a thousand years. ⁵ The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. ^(M)This is the first resurrection.
