4 [a]And I saw [b][c]seats: and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them, and I saw the souls of them that were [d]beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which [e]did not worship the beast, neither his image, neither had taken his mark upon their foreheads or on their hands: and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
