Lithuanian Bible (Karaliaus Jokūbo Versija Lietuviškai 2012 Edition) 2012 - KJV
Ir mačiau sostus, ir jie sėdėjo juose, ir jiems buvo duota teisti; ir mačiau sielas tų, kuriems buvo nukirstos galvos dėl Jėzaus liudijimo ir dėl Dievo žodžio, ir kurie negarbino žvėries nei jo atvaizdo, nei neėmė jo ženklo ant savo kaktų ar į savo rankas; ir jie gyveno ir karaliavo su Kristumi tūkstantį metų.
