Revelation 20:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed[a] and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over these; they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for [the] thousand years.

7 [b]When the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison.
