¹⁸ But the ^[a](A)saints of the Highest One will ^(B)receive the kingdom and take possession of the kingdom forever, ^[b]for all ages to come.’

²⁷ Then the ^[a](A)sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the ^[b]saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an ^(B)everlasting kingdom, and all the empires will ^(C)serve and obey Him.’

²⁸ And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the ^[a]regeneration when ^(A)the Son of Man will sit on ^[b]His glorious throne, ^(B)you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹⁷ For if by the offense of the one, death reigned ^(A)through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness ^(B)reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

⁴ Then I saw ^(A)thrones, and ^(B)they sat on them, and ^(C)judgment was given to them. And I saw ^(D)the souls of those who had been beheaded because of ^[a]their ^(E)testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not ^(F)worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the ^(G)mark on their foreheads and on their hands; and they ^(H)came to life and ^(I)reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
