⁶ Happy and holy is he who has a part in this first coming: over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will be ruling with him a thousand years.

⁶ And has made us to be a kingdom and priests to his God and Father; to him let glory and power be given for ever and ever. So be it.

¹⁴ And death and Hell were put into the sea of fire. This is the second death, even the sea of fire.

¹¹ He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death.

¹³ And a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Put in writing, There is a blessing on the dead who from now on come to their end in the Lord: yes, says the Spirit, that they may have rest from their troubles; for their works go with them.

¹⁰ And have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are ruling on the earth.

⁸ But those who are full of fear and without faith, the unclean and takers of life, those who do the sins of the flesh, and those who make use of evil powers or who give worship to images, and all those who are false, will have their part in the sea of ever-burning fire which is the second death.

⁹ But you are a special people, a holy nation, priests and kings, a people given up completely to God, so that you may make clear the virtues of him who took you out of the dark into the light of heaven.

⁴ And I saw high seats, and they were seated on them, and the right of judging was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who were put to death for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and those who did not give worship to the beast, or to his image, and had not his mark on their brows or on their hands; and they were living and ruling with Christ a thousand years.
