¹⁹Your dead shall live. My slain will rise again. Be awakened, and give praise, you who live in the dust! For your dew is the dew of the light, and you shall be dragged down to the land of the giants, to ruination. ²⁰Go, my people! Enter your chambers. Close your doors behind you. Conceal yourselves for a very brief time, until the indignation has passed over you.

⁵The rest of the dead did not live, until the thousand years are completed. This is the First Resurrection.

⁶And in those days, men will seek death and they will not find it. And they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

⁵²And the tombs were opened. And many bodies of the saints, which had been sleeping, arose. ⁵³And going out from the tombs, after his resurrection, they went into the holy city, and they appeared to many.

²And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awaken: some to everlasting life, and others to a reproach that they will always see.

⁹And I will feed them with the flesh of their sons and with the flesh of their daughters. And each one of them will eat the flesh of his friend during the blockade and the embargo by which their enemies, and those who seek their lives, will enclose them.

⁵¹And behold, the veil of the temple was torn into two parts, from top to bottom. And the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split apart. ⁵²And the tombs were opened.

²⁸Do not be amazed at this. For the hour is coming in which all who are in the grave shall hear the voice of the Son of God. ²⁹And those who have done good shall go forth to the resurrection of life. Yet truly, those who have done evil shall go to the resurrection of judgment.

⁵¹Behold, I tell you a mystery. Certainly, we shall all rise again, but we shall not all be transformed: ⁵²in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise up, incorruptible. And we shall be transformed. ⁵³Thus, it is necessary for this corruptibility to be clothed with incorruptibility, and for this mortality to be clothed with immortality.

⁶Wail aloud! For the day of the Lord draws near! It will arrive like a devastation from the Lord. ⁷Because of it, every hand will fail, and every heart of man will waste away and be crushed. ⁸Writhing and pain will seize them. They will be in pain, like a woman in labor. Each one will appear stupefied to his neighbor. Their countenances will be like faces which have been burned up. ⁹Behold, the day of the Lord approaches: a cruel day, full of indignation and wrath and fury, which will place the earth in solitude and crush the sinners from it.

And the souls of those beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the Word of God, and who did not adore the beast, nor his image, nor accept his character on their foreheads or on their hands: they lived and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. ⁵The rest of the dead did not live, until the thousand years are completed. This is the First Resurrection. ⁶Blessed and holy is he who takes part in the First Resurrection. Over these the second death has no power. But they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him for a thousand years.
