| 4. Formal Translation And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus {Iesous, Revealed Savior} and because of the word of God {Theos, Source of Revelation}, and also those who had not worshiped the beast nor its image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ {Christos, Reigning Messiah} a thousand years. |
| 4. Dynamic Translation Then I saw thrones, with people seated on them, and authority to judge was given to them, and the souls of those who had been killed by beheading because of their testimony about Jesus {Iesous, Confessed Lord} and because they held fast to the word of God {Theos, Final Judge}, together with all who refused to worship the beast or its image and never received the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They came to life and ruled with Christ {Christos, Victorious King} for a thousand years. |
