6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

A. If you have participated in the first resurrection (baptism into Christ) you are blessed.

B. If you have already shared in the first resurrection, the second death poses no real credible threat. The second death will not harm the faithful baptized believer in Christ.

C. We will be priests of God. (See comments on 1:6)

D. We will reign with Christ during the Christian Age.
