| 1 | And I saw an angel descending from the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand. |
| 2 | And he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent who is [the] devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, |
| 3 | and cast him into the abyss, and shut [it] and sealed [it] over him, that he should not any more deceive the nations until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be loosed for a little time. |
| 4 | And I saw thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God; and those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years: |
| 5 | the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years had been completed. This [is] the first resurrection. |
| 6 | Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. |
| 7 | And when the thousand years have been completed, Satan shall be loosed from his prison, |
| 8 | and shall go out to deceive the nations which [are] in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number [is] as the sand of the sea. |
| 9 | And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city: and fire came down [from God] out of the heaven and devoured them. |
| 10 | And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where [are] both the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for the ages of ages. |
| 11 | And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and place was not found for them. |
| 12 | And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is [that] of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works. |
| 13 | And the sea gave up the dead which [were] in it, and death and hades gave up the dead which [were] in them; and they were judged each according to their works: |
| 14 | and death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, [even] the lake of fire. |
| 15 | And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire. |
