³ And they *^[a]sang ^(A)a new song before the throne and before the ^(B)four living creatures and the ^(C)elders; and ^(D)no one could learn the song except the ^(E)one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ^(F)purchased from the earth. ^4 (G)These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they ^[b]have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who ^(H)follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been ^(I)purchased from among men ^(J)as first fruits to God and to the Lamb. ⁵ And ^(K)no lie was found in their mouth; they are ^(L)blameless.
