A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
And hath--rather as Greek, "And (He) hath."

made us kings--The oldest manuscripts read, "a kingdom." One oldest manuscript reads the dative, "for us." Another reads "us," accusative: so Vulgate, Syriac, Coptic, and ANDREAS. This seems preferable, "He made us (to be) a kingdom." So Exo 19:6, "a kingdom of priests"; Pe1 2:9, "a royal priesthood." The saints shall constitute peculiarly a kingdom of God, and shall themselves be kings (Rev 5:10). They shall share His King-Priest throne in the millennial kingdom. The emphasis thus falls more on the kingdom than on priests: whereas in English Version reading it is equally distributed between both. This book lays prominent stress on the saints' kingdom. They are kings because they are priests: the priesthood is the continuous ground and legitimization of their kingship; they are kings in relation to man, priests in relation to God, serving Him day and night in His temple (Rev 7:15; Rev 5:10). The priest-kings shall rule, not in an external mechanical manner, but simply in virtue of what they are, by the power of attraction and conviction overcoming the heart [AUBERLEN].

priests--who have pre-eminently the privilege of near access to the king. David's sons were priests (Hebrew), Sa2 8:18. The distinction of priests and people, nearer and more remote from God, shall cease; all shall have nearest access to Him. All persons and things shall be holy to the Lord.

God and his Father--There is but one article to both in the Greek, therefore it means, "Unto Him who is at once God and His Father."

glory and dominion--Greek, "the glory and the might." The fuller threefold doxology occurs, Rev 4:9, Rev 4:11; fourfold, Rev 5:13; Jde 1:25; sevenfold, Rev 7:12; Ch1 29:11. Doxology occupies the prominent place above, which prayer does below. If we thought of God's glory first (as in the Lord's Prayer), and gave the secondary place to our needs, we should please God and gain our petitions better than we do.

for ever and ever--Greek, "unto the ages."

11 Thine, O LORD [03068], is the greatness [01420], and the power [01369], and the glory [08597], and the victory [05331], and the majesty [01935]: for all that is in the heaven [08064] and in the earth [0776] is thine; thine is the kingdom [04467], O LORD [03068], and thou art exalted [04984] as head [07218] above all.
12 Saying [3004], Amen [281]: Blessing [2129], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] wisdom [4678], and [2532] thanksgiving [2169], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] power [1411], and [2532] might [2479], be unto our [2257] God [2316] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
25 To the only [3441] wise [4680] God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990], be glory [1391] and [2532] majesty [3172], dominion [2904] and [2532] power [1849], both [2532] now [3568] and [2532] ever [1519] [3956] [165]. Amen [281].
13 And [2532] every [3956] creature [2938] which [3739] is [2076] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] on [1722] the earth [1093], and [2532] under [5270] the earth [1093], and [2532] such as [3739] are [2076] in [1909] the sea [2281], and [2532] all [3956] that are in [1722] them [846], heard I [191] saying [3004], Blessing [2129], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] power [2904], be unto him that sitteth [2521] upon [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] unto the Lamb [721] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
11 Thou art [1488] worthy [514], O Lord [2962], to receive [2983] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] power [1411]: for [3754] thou [4771] hast created [2936] all things [3956], and [2532] for [1223] thy [4675] pleasure [2307] they are [1526] and [2532] were created [2936].
9 And [2532] when [3752] those beasts [2226] give [1325] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] thanks [2169] to him that sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362], who [3588] liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165],
18 And Benaiah [01141] the son [01121] of Jehoiada [03077] was over both the Cherethites [03774] and the Pelethites [06432]; and David's [01732] sons [01121] were chief rulers [03548].
10 And [2532] hast made [4160] us [2248] unto our [2257] God [2316] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409]: and [2532] we shall reign [936] on [1909] the earth [1093].
15 Therefore [1223] [5124] are they [1526] before [1799] the throne [2362] of God [2316], and [2532] serve [3000] him [846] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485]: and [2532] he that sitteth [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362] shall dwell [4637] among [1909] them [846].
10 And [2532] hast made [4160] us [2248] unto our [2257] God [2316] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409]: and [2532] we shall reign [936] on [1909] the earth [1093].
9 But [1161] ye [5210] are a chosen [1588] generation [1085], a royal [934] priesthood [2406], an holy [40] nation [1484], a peculiar [1519] [4047] people [2992]; that [3704] ye should shew forth [1804] the praises [703] of him who hath called [2564] you [5209] out of [1537] darkness [4655] into [1519] his [846] marvellous [2298] light [5457]:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom [04467] of priests [03548], and an holy [06918] nation [01471]. These are the words [01697] which thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
5 And [2532] from [575] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who is the faithful [4103] witness [3144], and the first begotten [4416] of [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] the prince [758] of the kings [935] of the earth [1093]. Unto him that loved [25] us [2248], and [2532] washed [3068] us [2248] from [575] our [2257] sins [266] in [1722] his own [846] blood [129],
5 Ye [846] also [2532], as [5613] lively [2198] stones [3037], are built up [3618] a spiritual [4152] house [3624], an holy [40] priesthood [2406], to offer up [399] spiritual [4152] sacrifices [2378], acceptable [2144] to God [2316] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom [04467] of priests [03548], and an holy [06918] nation [01471]. These are the words [01697] which thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
9 But [1161] ye [5210] are a chosen [1588] generation [1085], a royal [934] priesthood [2406], an holy [40] nation [1484], a peculiar [1519] [4047] people [2992]; that [3704] ye should shew forth [1804] the praises [703] of him who hath called [2564] you [5209] out of [1537] darkness [4655] into [1519] his [846] marvellous [2298] light [5457]:
1 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], He that entereth [1525] not [3361] by [1223] the door [2374] into [1519] the sheepfold [4263] [833], but [235] climbeth up [305] some other way [237], the same [1565] is [2076] a thief [2812] and [2532] a robber [3027].
51 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto him [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Hereafter [737] [575] ye shall see [3700] heaven [3772] open [455], and [2532] the angels [32] of God [2316] ascending [305] and [2532] descending [2597] upon [1909] the Son [5207] of man [444].
14 And [2532] unto the angel [32] of the church [1577] of the Laodiceans [2994] write [1125]; These things [3592] saith [3004] the Amen [281], the faithful [4103] and [2532] true [228] witness [3144], the beginning [746] of the creation [2937] of God [2316];
11 If any man [1536] speak [2980], let him speak as [5613] the oracles [3051] of God [2316]; if any man [1536] minister [1247], let him do it as [5613] of [1537] the ability [2479] which [3739] God [2316] giveth [5524]: that [2443] God [2316] in [1722] all things [3956] may be glorified [1392] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], to whom [3739] be [2076] praise [1391] and [2532] dominion [2904] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
21 Make [2675] you [5209] perfect [2675] in [1722] every [3956] good [18] work [2041] to [1519] do [4160] his [846] will [2307], working [4160] in [1722] you [5213] that which is wellpleasing [2101] in his [846] sight [1799], through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; to whom [3739] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
5 To whom [3739] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
11 Thine, O LORD [03068], is the greatness [01420], and the power [01369], and the glory [08597], and the victory [05331], and the majesty [01935]: for all that is in the heaven [08064] and in the earth [0776] is thine; thine is the kingdom [04467], O LORD [03068], and thou art exalted [04984] as head [07218] above all.
25 To the only [3441] wise [4680] God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990], be glory [1391] and [2532] majesty [3172], dominion [2904] and [2532] power [1849], both [2532] now [3568] and [2532] ever [1519] [3956] [165]. Amen [281].
12 Saying [3004], Amen [281]: Blessing [2129], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] wisdom [4678], and [2532] thanksgiving [2169], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] power [1411], and [2532] might [2479], be unto our [2257] God [2316] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
13 And [2532] every [3956] creature [2938] which [3739] is [2076] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] on [1722] the earth [1093], and [2532] under [5270] the earth [1093], and [2532] such as [3739] are [2076] in [1909] the sea [2281], and [2532] all [3956] that are in [1722] them [846], heard I [191] saying [3004], Blessing [2129], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] power [2904], be unto him that sitteth [2521] upon [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] unto the Lamb [721] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
11 Thou art [1488] worthy [514], O Lord [2962], to receive [2983] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] power [1411]: for [3754] thou [4771] hast created [2936] all things [3956], and [2532] for [1223] thy [4675] pleasure [2307] they are [1526] and [2532] were created [2936].
9 And [2532] when [3752] those beasts [2226] give [1325] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] thanks [2169] to him that sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362], who [3588] liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165],
5 To whom [3739] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
11 If any man [1536] speak [2980], let him speak as [5613] the oracles [3051] of God [2316]; if any man [1536] minister [1247], let him do it as [5613] of [1537] the ability [2479] which [3739] God [2316] giveth [5524]: that [2443] God [2316] in [1722] all things [3956] may be glorified [1392] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], to whom [3739] be [2076] praise [1391] and [2532] dominion [2904] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
27 To whom [3739] God [2316] would [2309] make known [1107] what [5101] is the riches [4149] of the glory [1391] of this [5127] mystery [3466] among [1722] the Gentiles [1484]; which [3739] is [2076] Christ [5547] in [1722] you [5213], the hope [1680] of glory [1391]:
17 For [1063] our [2257] light [1645] affliction [2347], which [3588] is but for a moment [3910], worketh [2716] for us [2254] a far [2596] [5236] more exceeding [1519] [5236] and eternal [166] weight [922] of glory [1391];
23 And [2532] that [2443] he might make known [1107] the riches [4149] of his [846] glory [1391] on [1909] the vessels [4632] of mercy [1656], which [3739] he had afore prepared [4282] unto [1519] glory [1391],
21 Because [3754] the creature [2937] itself [846] also [2532] shall be delivered [1659] from [575] the bondage [1397] of corruption [5356] into [1519] the glorious [1391] liberty [1657] of the children [5043] of God [2316].
18 For [1063] I reckon [3049] that [3754] the sufferings [3804] of this present [3568] time [2540] are not [3756] worthy [514] to be compared with [4314] the glory [1391] which shall [3195] be revealed [601] in [1519] us [2248].
16 And [2532] without controversy [3672] great [3173] is [2076] the mystery [3466] of godliness [2150]: God [2316] was manifest [5319] in [1722] the flesh [4561], justified [1344] in [1722] the Spirit [4151], seen [3700] of angels [32], preached [2784] unto [1722] the Gentiles [1484], believed on [4100] in [1722] the world [2889], received up [353] into [1722] glory [1391].
21 Who [3739] shall change [3345] our [2257] vile [5014] body [4983], that [1519] it [846] may be [1096] fashioned like unto [4832] his [846] glorious [1391] body [4983], according to [2596] the working [1753] whereby he [846] is able [1410] even [2532] to subdue [5293] all things [3956] unto himself [1438].
5 And [2532] now [3568], O Father [3962], glorify [1392] thou [4771] me [3165] with [3844] thine own self [4572] with the glory [1391] which [3739] I had [2192] with [3844] thee [4671] before [4253] the world [2889] was [1511].
26 Ought [1163] not [3780] Christ [5547] to have suffered [3958] these things [5023], and [2532] to enter [1525] into [1519] his [846] glory [1391]?
10 But [1161] chiefly [3122] them that walk [4198] after [3694] the flesh [4561] in [1722] the lust [1939] of uncleanness [3394], and [2532] despise [2706] government [2963]. Presumptuous [5113] are they, selfwilled [829], they are not [3756] afraid [5141] to speak evil [987] of dignities [1391].
8 Likewise [3668] [3305] also [2532] these [3778] filthy dreamers [1797] defile [3392] the flesh [3303] [4561], [1161] despise [114] dominion [2963], and [1161] speak evil [987] of dignities [1391].
26 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] shall be ashamed [1870] of me [3165] and [2532] of my [1699] words [3056], of him [5126] shall [1870] the Son [5207] of man [444] be ashamed [1870], when [3752] he shall come [2064] in [1722] his own [846] glory [1391], and [2532] in his Father's [3962], and [2532] of the holy [40] angels [32].
11 According [2596] to the glorious [1391] gospel [2098] of the blessed [3107] God [2316], which [3739] was committed to [4100] my [1473] trust [4100].
18 The eyes [3788] of your [5216] understanding [1271] being enlightened [5461]; that [1519] ye [5209] may know [1492] what [5101] is [2076] the hope [1680] of his [846] calling [2821], and [2532] what [5101] the riches [4149] of the glory [1391] of his [846] inheritance [2817] in [1722] the saints [40],
14 Which [3739] is [2076] the earnest [728] of our [2257] inheritance [2817] until [1519] the redemption [629] of the purchased possession [4047], unto [1519] the praise [1868] of his [846] glory [1391].
12 That [1519] we [2248] should be [1511] to [1519] the praise [1868] of his [846] glory [1391], who [3588] first trusted [4276] in [1722] Christ [5547].
6 To [1519] the praise [1868] of the glory [1391] of his [846] grace [5485], wherein [1722] [3739] he hath made [5487] us [2248] accepted [5487] in [1722] the beloved [25].
4 In [1722] whom [3739] the god [2316] of this [5127] world [165] hath blinded [5186] the minds [3540] of them which believe not [571], lest [1519] [3361] the light [5462] of the glorious [1391] gospel [2098] of Christ [5547], who [3739] is [2076] the image [1504] of God [2316], should shine [826] unto them [846].
18 But [1161] we [2249] all [3956], with open [343] face [4383] beholding as in a glass [2734] the glory [1391] of the Lord [2962], are changed [3339] into the same [846] image [1504] from [575] glory [1391] to [1519] glory [1391], even as [2509] by [575] the Spirit [4151] of the Lord [2962].
26 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] shall be ashamed [1870] of me [3165] and [2532] of my [1699] words [3056], of him [5126] shall [1870] the Son [5207] of man [444] be ashamed [1870], when [3752] he shall come [2064] in [1722] his own [846] glory [1391], and [2532] in his Father's [3962], and [2532] of the holy [40] angels [32].
38 Whosoever [3739] [302] therefore [1063] shall be ashamed [1870] of me [3165] and [2532] of my [1699] words [3056] in [1722] this [5026] adulterous [3428] and [2532] sinful [268] generation [1074]; of him [846] also [2532] shall [1870] the Son [5207] of man [444] be ashamed [1870], when [3752] he cometh [2064] in [1722] the glory [1391] of his [846] Father [3962] with [3326] the holy [40] angels [32].
37 [1161] They said [2036] unto him [846], Grant [1325] unto us [2254] that [2443] we may sit [2523], one [1520] on [1537] thy [4675] right hand [1188], and [2532] the other [1520] on [1537] thy [4675] left hand [2176], in [1722] thy [4675] glory [1391].
27 For [1063] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall [3195] come [2064] in [1722] the glory [1391] of his [846] Father [3962] with [3326] his [846] angels [32]; and [2532] then [5119] he shall reward [591] every man [1538] according [2596] to his [846] works [4234].
11 Thou art [1488] worthy [514], O Lord [2962], to receive [2983] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] power [1411]: for [3754] thou [4771] hast created [2936] all things [3956], and [2532] for [1223] thy [4675] pleasure [2307] they are [1526] and [2532] were created [2936].
9 And [2532] when [3752] those beasts [2226] give [1325] glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092] and [2532] thanks [2169] to him that sat [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362], who [3588] liveth [2198] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165],
25 To the only [3441] wise [4680] God [2316] our [2257] Saviour [4990], be glory [1391] and [2532] majesty [3172], dominion [2904] and [2532] power [1849], both [2532] now [3568] and [2532] ever [1519] [3956] [165]. Amen [281].
11 If any man [1536] speak [2980], let him speak as [5613] the oracles [3051] of God [2316]; if any man [1536] minister [1247], let him do it as [5613] of [1537] the ability [2479] which [3739] God [2316] giveth [5524]: that [2443] God [2316] in [1722] all things [3956] may be glorified [1392] through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], to whom [3739] be [2076] praise [1391] and [2532] dominion [2904] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
6 And [2532] the devil [1228] said [2036] unto him [846], All [537] this [5026] power [1849] will I give [1325] thee [4671], and [2532] the glory [1391] of them [846]: for [3754] that is delivered [3860] unto me [1698]; and [2532] to [3739] whomsoever [1437] I will [2309] I give [1325] it [846].
8 Again [3825], the devil [1228] taketh [3880] him [846] up [3880] into [1519] an exceeding [3029] high [5308] mountain [3735], and [2532] sheweth [1166] him [846] all [3956] the kingdoms [932] of the world [2889], and [2532] the glory [1391] of them [846];
7 But [1161] if [1487] the ministration [1248] of death [2288], written [1722] [1121] and engraven [1795] in [1722] stones [3037], was [1096] glorious [1722] [1391], so [5620] that the children [5207] of Israel [2474] could [1410] not [3361] stedfastly behold [816] the face [1519] [4383] of Moses [3475] for [1223] the glory [1391] of his [846] countenance [4383]; which [3588] glory was to be done away [2673]:
32 But [1161] Peter [4074] and [2532] they that were with [4862] him [846] were [2258] heavy [916] with sleep [5258]: and [1161] when they were awake [1235], they saw [1492] his [846] glory [1391], and [2532] the two [1417] men [435] that stood with [4921] him [846].
55 But [1161] he, being [5225] full [4134] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], looked up stedfastly [816] into [1519] heaven [3772], and saw [1492] the glory [1391] of God [2316], and [2532] Jesus [2424] standing [2476] on [1537] the right hand [1188] of God [2316],
9 And [2532], lo [2400], the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] came upon [2186] them [846], and [2532] the glory [1391] of the Lord [2962] shone round about [4034] them [846]: and [2532] they were sore [3173] afraid [5399] [5401].
40 There are also [2532] celestial [2032] bodies [4983], and [2532] bodies [4983] terrestrial [1919]: but [235] [3303] the glory [1391] of the celestial [2032] is one [2087], and [1161] the glory of the terrestrial [1919] is another [2087].
11 And [1161] when [5613] I could [1689] not [3756] see [1689] for [575] the glory [1391] of that [1565] light [5457], being led by the hand [5496] of [5259] them that were [4895] with me [3427], I came [2064] into [1519] Damascus [1154].
4 And [2532] when the chief Shepherd [750] shall appear [5319], ye shall receive [2865] a crown [4735] of glory [1391] that fadeth not away [262].
3 For [1063] this [3778] man was counted worthy [515] of more [4119] glory [1391] than [3844] Moses [3475], inasmuch as [2596] [3745] he who hath builded [2680] the house [3624] hath more [4119] honour [5092] than [2192] the house [846].
10 But [235] when [3752] thou art bidden [2564], go [4198] and sit down [377] in [1519] the lowest [2078] room [5117]; that [2443] when [3752] he that bade [2564] thee [4571] cometh [2064], he may say [2036] unto thee [4671], Friend [5384], go up [4320] higher [511]: then [5119] shalt thou [4671] have [2071] worship [1391] in the presence [1799] of them that sit at meat [4873] with thee [4671].
3 Blessed [2128] be the God [2316] and [2532] Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who [3588] hath blessed [2127] us [2248] with [1722] all [3956] spiritual [4152] blessings [2129] in [1722] heavenly [2032] places in [1722] Christ [5547]:
3 Blessed [2128] be God [2316], even [2532] the Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], the Father [3962] of mercies [3628], and [2532] the God [2316] of all [3956] comfort [3874];
6 That [2443] ye may [1392] with one mind [3661] and [1722] one [1520] mouth [4750] glorify [1392] God [2316], even [2532] the Father [3962] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
21 Yea, every pot [05518] in Jerusalem [03389] and in Judah [03063] shall be holiness [06944] unto the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: and all they that sacrifice [02076] shall come [0935] and take [03947] of them, and seethe [01310] therein: and in that day [03117] there shall be no more the Canaanite [03669] in the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635].
20 In that day [03117] shall there be upon the bells [04698] of the horses [05483], HOLINESS [06944] UNTO THE LORD [03068]; and the pots [05518] in the LORD'S [03068] house [01004] shall be like the bowls [04219] before [06440] the altar [04196].
22 And [2532] I saw [1492] no [3756] temple [3485] therein [1722] [846]: for [1063] the Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841] and [2532] the Lamb [721] are [2076] the temple [3485] of it [846].
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom [04467] of priests [03548], and an holy [06918] nation [01471]. These are the words [01697] which thou shalt speak [01696] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
13 Even he shall build [01129] the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]; and he shall bear [05375] the glory [01935], and shall sit [03427] and rule [04910] upon his throne [03678]; and he shall be a priest [03548] upon his throne [03678]: and the counsel [06098] of peace [07965] shall be between them both [08147].
4 Thou hast given [05414] a banner [05251] to them that fear [03373] thee, that it may be displayed [05127] because [06440] of the truth [07189]. Selah [05542].
9 But [1161] ye [5210] are a chosen [1588] generation [1085], a royal [934] priesthood [2406], an holy [40] nation [1484], a peculiar [1519] [4047] people [2992]; that [3704] ye should shew forth [1804] the praises [703] of him who hath called [2564] you [5209] out of [1537] darkness [4655] into [1519] his [846] marvellous [2298] light [5457]:
5 Ye [846] also [2532], as [5613] lively [2198] stones [3037], are built up [3618] a spiritual [4152] house [3624], an holy [40] priesthood [2406], to offer up [399] spiritual [4152] sacrifices [2378], acceptable [2144] to God [2316] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
22 Until [05705] the Ancient [06268] of days [03118] came [0858] [01768], and judgment [01780] was given [03052] to the saints [06922] of the most High [05946]; and the time [02166] came [04291] that the saints [06922] possessed [02631] the kingdom [04437].
18 But the saints [06922] of the most High [05946] shall take [06902] the kingdom [04437], and possess [02631] the kingdom [04437] for [05705] ever [05957], even for [05705] ever [05957] and ever [05957].
5 And [2532] there shall be [2071] no [3756] night [3571] there [1563]; and [2532] they need [5532] no [3756] candle [3088] [2192], neither [2532] light [5457] of the sun [2246]; for [3754] the Lord [2962] God [2316] giveth [5461] them [846] light [5461]: and [2532] they shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
6 Blessed [3107] and [2532] holy [40] is he that hath [2192] part [3313] in [1722] the first [4413] resurrection [386]: on [1909] such [5130] the second [1208] death [2288] hath [2192] no [3756] power [1849], but [235] they shall be [2071] priests [2409] of God [2316] and [2532] of Christ [5547], and [2532] shall reign [936] with [3326] him [846] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
4 And [2532] I saw [1492] thrones [2362], and [2532] they sat [2523] upon [1909] them [846], and [2532] judgment [2917] was given [1325] unto them [846]: and [2532] I saw the souls [5590] of them that were beheaded [3990] for [1223] the witness [3141] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] which [3748] had [4352] not [3756] worshipped [4352] the beast [2342], neither [3777] his [846] image [1504], [2532] neither [3756] had received [2983] his mark [5480] upon [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359], or [2532] in [1909] their [846] hands [5495]; and [2532] they lived [2198] and [2532] reigned [936] with [3326] Christ [5547] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
10 And [2532] hast made [4160] us [2248] unto our [2257] God [2316] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409]: and [2532] we shall reign [936] on [1909] the earth [1093].
9 But [1161] ye [5210] are a chosen [1588] generation [1085], a royal [934] priesthood [2406], an holy [40] nation [1484], a peculiar [1519] [4047] people [2992]; that [3704] ye should shew forth [1804] the praises [703] of him who hath called [2564] you [5209] out of [1537] darkness [4655] into [1519] his [846] marvellous [2298] light [5457]:
5 Ye [846] also [2532], as [5613] lively [2198] stones [3037], are built up [3618] a spiritual [4152] house [3624], an holy [40] priesthood [2406], to offer up [399] spiritual [4152] sacrifices [2378], acceptable [2144] to God [2316] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
