Greek-English Concordance for πελεκίζω

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and seated on them were those who had been given the authority to judge. I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded (pepelekismenōn | πεπελεκισμένων | perf pass ptcp gen pl masc) for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God. These had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
