Exegesis

The adversative all {ἀλλʼ | all} marks a contrastive result clause with esontai hiereis {ἔσονται ἱερεῖς | é-son-tai hi-e-reîs}, where the copular future esontai combines with the predicate noun hiereis to define their future identity.

In contextRevelation 20:6

Blessed and holy is the one who has a share in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no authority; but they will be priests of God and of Christ , and they will reign with Him for a thousand years .
