Revelation 2:2-10

2‘1I know your deeds and your toil and 2perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you 3put to the test those who call themselves 4apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; 3and you have 5perseverance and have endured 6for My name’s sake, and have not grown weary. 4But I have this against you, that you have 7left your first love. 5Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and 8repent and 9do the 10deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your 11lampstand out of its place--unless you repent. 6Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the 12Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 713He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 14To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of 15the tree of life which is in the 16Paradise of God.’

8“And to the angel of the church in 17Smyrna write:

18The first and the last, who 1920was dead, and has come to life, says this:

9‘I know your 21tribulation and your 22poverty (but you are 23rich), and the blasphemy by those who 24say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of 25Satan. 10Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be 26tested, and you will have tribulation 27for ten days. 28Be 29faithful until death, and I will give you 30the crown of life.
