And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first begotten from the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth:

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead: and he laid his right-hand upon me, saying, Fear not, I am the First and the Last,

And he that liveth and was dead, and behold I am alive for evermore, and have the keys of death and of Hades.

And to the angel of the church of Smyrna write, These things saith the First and the Last, who was dead and is alive.

And to the angel of the church at Sardis write, These things saith he that hath the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars, I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, but art dead.

And their dead bodies shall be in the street of the great city, which is called spiritual Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified,

And some of the people, and tribes, and tongues, and nations, shall behold their dead bodies three days and a half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in a grave.

And the nations were wroth: and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they be judged, and to give a reward to thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to them that fear thy name, small and great, and to destroy them that destroyed the earth.

And I heard a voice out of heaven, saying to me, Write: From henceforth happy are the dead who die in the Lord: Yea (saith the Spirit) that they may rest from their labours. Their works follow them.

And the second poured out his phial upon the sea, and it became as the blood of a dead man, and every living soul in the sea died.

The rest of the dead lived not again till the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things that were written in the books, according to their works.

And the sea gave up the dead that were therein; and death and hades gave up the dead that were in them; and they were judged every one according to their works.
