² have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments?

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, `Verily I say to you, that ye who did follow me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit upon a throne of his glory, shall sit -- ye also -- upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel;

⁴ And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand years;

³⁰ that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.'

²¹ He who is overcoming -- I will give to him to sit with me in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my Father in His throne.

²⁶ and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations,

²⁷ and he shall rule them with a rod of iron -- as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken -- as I also have received from my Father;

²² till that the Ancient of Days hath come, and judgment is given to the saints of the Most High, and the time hath come, and the saints have strengthened the kingdom.

¹⁸ and receive the kingdom do the saints of the Most High, and they strengthen the kingdom unto the age, even unto the age of the ages.

¹³ to the establishing your hearts blameless in sanctification before our God and Father, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

¹⁸ we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not seen; for the things seen `are' temporary, but the things not seen `are' age-during.

⁴ of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have judgment, those despised in the assembly -- these cause ye to sit;

⁵ Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

⁶ The exaltation of God `is' in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

⁷ To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

⁸ To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

⁹ To do among them the judgment written, An honour it `is' for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!

¹⁴ As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form `is' for consumption. Sheol `is' a dwelling for him.

¹⁴ And prophesy also to these did the seventh from Adam -- Enoch -- saying, `Lo, the Lord did come in His saintly myriads,

¹⁵ to do judgment against all, and to convict all their impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously, and concerning all the stiff things that speak against Him did impious sinners.'

¹⁶ because all that `is' in the world -- the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life -- is not of the Father, but of the world,

¹⁷ and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain -- to the age.

⁵ And ye have fled `to' the valley of My mountains, For join doth the valley of the mountains to Azal, And ye have fled as ye fled before the shaking, In the days of Uzziah king of Judah, And come in hath Jehovah my God, All holy ones `are' with Thee.
