Revelation 14:3-5
New King James Version
3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song (A)except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, (B)for they are virgins. These are the ones (C)who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These (D)were [a]redeemed from among men, (E)being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And (F)in their mouth was found no [b]deceit, for (G)they are without fault [c]before the throne of God.
